J.M.W. Turner was a fascinating and enigmatic figure. Both
astonishingly prolific and extraordinarily innovative, he is widely
seen as the greatest British landscape painter of them all,
anticipating and surpassing the Impressionists in his dramatic
interpretations of the effects of light and colour. "The Turner
Book" goes beyond the usual interpretations of the artist,
revealing the extraordinary self-belief and ambition that allowed
him to continue steadfastly with his experimentation in the face of
hostile critical attack. The book examines in detail key works and
the techniques by which Turner realised them and features revealing
extracts from his notebooks, travel journals and poetry.
Beautifully illustrated with both famous and unknown works and
ranging over the entire course of the artist's career, this is the
essential guide to Turner's life and work. Sam Smiles is Professor
of Art History at the University of Plymouth at Exeter and the
author of numerous acclaimed books, including "J.M.W. Turner",
"Two-way Traffic: British Art and Italian Art 1880-1980" and "The
Image of Antiquity: Ancient Britain and the Romantic Imagination".
