Turner: Painting the Sublime, in Dialogue with Contemporary Art

For this meetup, we will check out works of J.M.W. Turner.

"Opening new horizons in art history, Turner captured the nature of the world—including shifting light and atmosphere—at times with meticulous detail, and at times through abstraction. His works have been highly praised for allowing viewers to experience the 'sublime' of nature. Featuring over 80 oil and watercolor paintings from London's Tate—home to the world's largest Turner collection—this exhibition is a long-awaited major retrospective.
In this exhibition, Turner's works are reorganized by theme and presented in a loose chronological order. Furthermore, by juxtaposing Turner's paintings with contemporary artworks, the exhibition creates a dialogue between them, highlighting how the master's concerns resonate with those of subsequent artists." from [ArtSticker]
