FRIDAY JUNE 18th  @11am

J.M.W Tuner - The Later Years

​

In Turner's later years, he used oils ever more transparently and turned to an evocation of almost pure light by use of shimmering colour. The intensity of hue and interest in evanescent light placed Turner's work in the vanguard of English painting. In many of these later paintings the objects are barely recognisable. He is often regarded as a precursor of abstract painting.

​

Come and join us for the last online talk of the series as we celebrate Turner’s astonishing creative flowering in these later years when he produced many of his finest pictures but was also controversial and unjustly misunderstood.
