• Summary

  The second half of Turner’s career saw the emergence of the distinctive style of painting for which he is now best remembered. This ‘late style’ is characterised by expressive use of colour, by indistinct, unresolved forms, and above all by the depiction of light, which he used to create powerfully evocative landscapes and seascapes. The experimental nature of his techniques and the originality of his vision have since led to him being hailed as a prophet of modern painting (Tate Modern). Exhibition ctaalog for a show at Salander O'Reilly Galleries form 1999.
