Turner: Five letters and a postscript: Letters on Light, Atmosphere, Colour, and the Sublime in British Romantic Landscape Painting - Softcover
Synopsis
Turner: Five Letters and a Postscript is a compact, meditative study of J. M. W. Turner, arranged in the intimate form of correspondence rather than systematic biography. Hind considers Turner's command of light, atmosphere, colour, and visionary landscape, situating him between Romantic sublimity and the modern liberation of painting. The prose is elegant, conversational, and critically alert, reflecting the early twentieth-century effort to reassess Turner beyond anecdote and Ruskinian reverence. C. Lewis Hind was a distinguished British art critic, editor, and essayist whose career was devoted to making painting intelligible to cultivated general readers. His long engagement with European art, museum culture, and contemporary criticism equipped him to approach Turner not merely as a national genius but as an artist whose experiments anticipated later aesthetic freedoms. Hind's sensitivity to both technique and temperament shapes the book's persuasive intimacy. This volume is recommended to readers interested in Turner, Romantic art, and the history of art criticism. It will especially appeal to those who value criticism that is learned without being pedantic, personal without being casual, and attentive to the enduring mystery of artistic vision.
