1775 -1851 · Light, sea and British sublime
Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in London in 1775 and entered the Royal Academy schools at a very young age. Watercolorist, engraver and painter, he traveled to Great Britain then to Europe to study architecture, mountains, ports and meteorological effects. Turner mastered topography but gradually transformed it: color, light and material took precedence over the stable delimitation of objects. His navies confront ship, storm, industry, war and commerce. In late views, steam or foam seems to invade the entire canvas. Saltash observes the passage of water and the activity of Cornwall with a keen sense of atmosphere; Saltash observes the passage of water and the activity of Cornwall with a keen sense of atmosphere; Saltash observes the passage of water and the activity of Cornwall with a keen sense of atmosphere; Whalers brings out whalers, swells and violence of hunting in a pictorial whirlwind. Upon his death, the immense ensemble preserved in his workshop was bequeathed to the British nation, offering an exceptional testimony to his work process. The "William Turner" selection notably compares Saltash with the Water Ferry, Cornwall and Whalers. His reading favors the material.
Turner doesn't make the world vague: he shows precisely what in the world is constantly changing - light, air, water and speed.
