J. M. W. Turner: The Making of a Modern Artist
Sam Smiles
Alone of his contemporaries, Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. -- .
