TurnerBy Anthony Bailey Pimlico, UK, 1998ISBN 9780712666 046trade Paperback, 512 pagesACCEPTABLE: crease d spine, tanned / foxed pages, light wearJoseph Mallo rd William Turner's work encompasses seascape and landscape, oil paintings and watercolours. The son of a Covent Garden barber and a woman who died in Bethlehem mental hospital, Turner achieved f ame and fortune during his lifetime. Although he possessed a wide -ranging imagination, he was an often incoherent speaker and writ er, and his muddled will produced much discord. It is a wonder th at, despite avaricious relatives and incompetent lawyers, so many of his works are now in the hands of the British nation, and pub licly proclaim his genius. Anthony Bailey has set out to write a biography of the man, not a book about his paintings. Both lonely and gregarious, private and vainglorious, Turner's character was full of contradictions, and Bailey attempts to describe them. Seller Inventory # 1131g
