Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have
prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The
Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his
achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his
art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist
we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known
as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of
Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to
the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a
wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to
the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the
1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It
documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed
in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the
ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers,
by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the
British Council and other bodies. -- .
