商品簡介
Venning (art history, Open U., UK) has written and lectured extensively on J M W Turner (1775-1851). In this analysis of the artist's life and work, Venning places Turner's artistic output in its historical context a time of immense social, economic, and politic change, during which the visual arts were also in a state of flux in order to understand the evolution of Turner's style, and considers Turner's influence on later generations, including Rothko and his contemporaries. Illustrated with some 190 b&w and color photographs, the text is academic but accessible to the general reader. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
