About the book >.>.> Turner Watercolours Book by Martin Butlin

This selection of J.M.W. Turner’s watercolours traces the development of his art, from detailed works associated with the topographic art of his time to the expansive colour compositions of his later years. The illustrations show how Turner’s private exploration of colour, first developed from brief working notes for studio pictures, came to shape his public art.

The accompanying introduction and comments by Martin Butlin, an Assistant Keeper at the Tate Gallery, London, distinguish between Turner’s work for patrons and public exhibitions and his more private experiments in colour expression. The selection moves through the period when these approaches began to overlap, culminating in the later watercolours described as rhapsodies of colour. It contains thirty-two colour plates, including several works that had not previously been reproduced. (MP)
