TATE J.M.W Turner Watercolours 英國印象派先驅威廉‧透納的水彩畫 泰德精裝版

David Blayney Brown reveals the role watercolours played in Turner’s life and work, from those he sent for exhibition to the Royal Academy to the private outpourings in which he compulsively experimented with light and colour, which for a modern audience are among his most radical and accomplished works.

 

Few can doubt that J.M.W. Turner was the greatest exponent of English watercolour in its golden age. An inveterate traveler in search of the ideal vista, he rarely left home without a rolled-up, loose-bound sketchbook, pencils, and a small traveling case of watercolours in his pocket. He exploited as no one before him the medium’s luminosity and transparency, conjuring light effects on English meadows and Venetian lagoons and gauzy mists over mountains and lakes.

 

Revised for 2019, in this extensive and illuminating introduction to the unique body of watercolours Turner produced, acclaimed expert David Blayney Brown provides context to the watercolours and background to Tate’s unrivaled collection of Turner’s works. Extraordinary in his own time, he has continued to thrill his countless admirers since.
