Description

Turner's Modern World: A Publication to Accompany a Landmark Exhibition This publication explores J.M.W. Turner's contemporary imagery, a distinctive aspect of his work throughout his career. Rather than focusing on his protomodernist credentials, it examines what constituted modernity and being a modern artist in his lifetime. Turner's career spanned significant periods of change, including revolution, the Napoleonic War, Empire, and the transition from sail to steam. This exhibition and its accompanying publication reveal how Turner updated the language of art, transforming his style and practice to produce revelatory interpretations of modern subjects.
