Description
Turner on Tour explores the artist's fascination with ports and harbors as dynamic, transitional places. Two groundbreaking oil paintings by J.M.W. Turner, Harbour of Dieppe: Changement de Domicile and Cologne, the Arrival of a Packet-Boat: Evening, are featured in this publication. Painted in the mid-1820s, these works exemplify Turner's radical approach to color, light, and brushwork. The paintings were acquired by Henry Clay Frick in 1914 and have remained in the USA ever since. This sumptuously illustrated book examines Turner's creative process, focusing on his use of sketchbooks and watercolors to capture his ideas as he traveled. It provides a unique insight into Turner's artistic practice and his role as an artist-traveler. Published by National Gallery Global/Distributed by Yale University Press, this publication offers a fresh perspective on Turner's work and its significance in the context of his travels.
