Synopsis
Joseph Mallard William Turner was heir to a substantial art tradition, deriving not only from the Continental schools, but from 18th century English watercolor painting. By te end of his life he was anticipating the discoveries of the 20th century. Few artists have achieved so wide a range of style in oil, watercolor, drawing and engraving. The later works in which he made the most profound statement of his tragic sense of life, and in which he pushed the expressive power of his technique to its extreme limit, were unintelligible to many of his contemporaries. But the recent development of non-figurative art has finally helped make these later works meaningful to modern taste.
