Turner English “Claude Monet”.

Turner is without question with its counterpart Constable, L ’ one of the pioneers of L ’ impressionism which N ’ had not been born yet under the feather from criticisms. Turner- Constable gives desire for comparing this duet with Monet-Sisley.

D ’ origin simple Turner, sons of barber and Constable wire of miller knew quite different lives however. The first knew a deserved glory, the second arrived more than laboriously to be made admit. Still nowadays, there remains rather obscure.

Notorious difference, Turner was a large Master and Constable a great painter.

One will find in France one half-century later this dualism with Monet-Sisley. The Master precedes the painter, according to L ’ immutable rule.

By taking in turn L ’ Incendie of the Parliament and Impression, rising sun these two fabrics illustrate at the same time the engineering and the search of these superb painters of which the œ uvres reciprocal transfer the day with forty years D ’ variation and yet which strange communion.

Turner S ’ interested of course in nature like its Monet counterpart, but they evolved L ’ like L ’ other to L ’ obsession of the play and the eternal variations of the colors. Nature very present at the beginning will yield finally the place to the multiple possibilities of the gouache on a fabric.

“I do not seek, I find” declared Picasso and its sentence at once made the turn of our small sphere. Completely misunderstood. Picasso wanted to define its step, one S ’ stopped with the words. And yet when one looks at Picasso painting (the Picasso-Clouzot mystery), one understands that the pleasure of the feature L ’ carried above all. Picasso dreamed to meet Toulouse Lautrec this draughtsman except standard which also privileged the drawing. How much natures died for L ’ together of its fabrics and how much brought back faces?

Turner-Monet, Picasso-Lautrec, or two designs completely different from painting for these four geniuses.

Very near to his father with whom he lived jusqu ’ with L ’ age 30 years, he N ’ did not have D ’ friendly. Nobody L ’ forever considering painting and it only travelled through L ’ Europe. Depressed, it sometimes happened to him to disappear during months. He systematically refused to sell his œ uvres that depressed it….At the end of its life, it hid under a false name.

Of modest origin, it had a training of topographer and specialized initially in the picturesque sights with the watercolour and oil. Elected since 1802 holder of Royal Academy, there remained all its life a keen worker. Untiring traveller in England and on the continent, Turner painted with an equal happiness of the thousands of different landscapes, always announced by a precise title.

Extremely early with the twelve years age, it sold drawings and watercolours where it reproduced of memory of engravings which it had seen. This exercise will develop at his place a precise memory of the forms and a direction of the units which became essential features of its Article.

During all its career, Turner carried out face the production of watercolours and oil-base paints. The first however remained ignored a long time. Because the artist exposed them little, judging more advantageous to sit his reputation on his fabrics. But it left thousands of watercolours, often inspired by the landscapes crossed at the time of its many voyages. They form a prodigiously rich and varied unit, perhaps whose one did not measure quality fully yet.

With his death in 1851, one can say that the great time of the English landscape is finished. Turner left with its death 300 paintings with L ’ oil and more than 20.000 drawings, watercolours. notebooks and prints.
