Paperback. Condition: Very Good. J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) is widely regarded as the greatest painter Britain has ever produced. Despite the many books and exhibitions that have been devoted to him, there is one aspect of his extraordinary oeuvre that has never been thoroughly examined. Uniquely in the history of European art, h…e took on all comers, past and present, that he considered worthy of a challenge, creating his own images in their styles. These works were both acts of homage and a sophisticated form of art criticism, demonstrating his understanding of great art and his ability to equal or better the most celebrated exponents of the landscape tradition. No artist, however revered, was considered beyond challenge. This unique habit is clearly a key to understanding Turner's art, yet the issue is one that has so far never been thoroughly addressed on Turner and on British art of the 18th and 19th centuries. In "Turner and the Masters" leading authorities explore this fascinating aspect of his career, revealing new detail on the debts and rivalries that shaped his work in often unexpected ways. Accompanying a major touring exhibition that brings together works by Turner with masterpieces by Claude, Canaletto, Ruisdael, Van de Velde, Poussin, Rubens and Rembrandt, as well as by Turner's contemporaries including Constable and Bonnington, this book firmly positions Turner in the company of the greatest painters of all time. The contributors include Guillaume Faroult, Sarah Monks, Martin Myrone, Kathleen Nicholson, Philippa Simpson and Ian Warrell. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softbound. First. Color illustrated wraps, 240pp, 103 color plates, numerous figures. From the publisher--It was J.M.W. Turner's strategy - uniquely within the history of European landscape painting - to take on all comers, both past and present, whom he considered as worthy rivals to his own fame. Throughout his career he model…led some of his most ambitious pictures on the works of other painters, to demonstrate both his understanding of great art and his ability to equal - indeed to surpass - the masters of the past. Turner never tired of matching his talents against the forerunners and contemporaries he most admired, even as he devoted more and more of his energy to devising his own, defiantly innovative forms of modern pictorial imagery. In the process he fashioned a type of art that not only strove to be true to the appearances of nature, but that was also self-consciously about the making of art itself.
