J.M.W. Turner, 1775-1851 : the world of light and colour

As a blind person might see the world if the gift of sight were suddenly returned - this is how we might describe the effect of William Turner's paintings on the observer. This book demonstrates that he was not simply illustrating nature, but that his pictures speak directly to the eye as nature does itself - through a world of light and colour.

  • "Fifty years before impressionism, J.W.M. Turner brought a sense of light and a lightness of brush to landscape painting that have remained unequaled. In an eponymous collection documenting this year's exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia, editor and curator Michael Lloyd has assembled 150 color illustrations and 10 scholarly yet accessible essays, which together serve as an introduction to the career of this great artist."@en
