Turner

Description

Drawing on a personal “diary” of sketches used by the artist to record his life, a fascinating look inside the contradictory life of renowned painter J. M. W. Turner combines biographical details with incisive art historical analysis as it examines a man whose exquisite paintings are set against a personality that was manipulative, cunning, taciturn, and ill-mannered. Reprint.
