Turner's Colour Sketches, 1820-34 - Wilkinson, Gerald
KORTE INHOUD
The 'unfinished' watercolors in this book were the germinating iridescent center from which some of Turner's best known works emerged. The Petworth Watercolours, the 'Colour Beginnings', the sketches for 'Rivers of France' and other blue-paper sketches are all famous, yet have never before been reproduced in useful quantity. Here the relevant pencil sketchbooks, carefully but entertainingly annotated, provide a chronological matrix. The range, power, and brilliance of these watercolors will astonish even those who know Turner well through his oil paintings. From his return from Italy in 1820 to the 'Burning of the Houses of Parliament' in 1834, we see his work rise to a level rarely equalled in the story of art. In his color sketches Turner reaches out to the precarious edges of artistic achievement. -- Provided by publisher.
