 J. M. W. Turner: The Man Who Set Painting on Fire Art, Design and Fashion : Art 

by Olivier Meslay

Pocket-sized paperback in Very Good condition with light wear.

Published by Thames & Hudson in their New Horizons series - reprint 2011. 160 pages. 12.5cm x 17.7cm.

In 1802, at the age of 26, Joseph Mallord William Turner became the youngest ever member of the Royal Academy. His early paintings combined great historical themes with inspired visions of nature, but his subsequent experimentation with capturing the effects of light led him swiftly towards a revolutionary dissolution of forms.

In this profusely illustrated book, Olivier Meslay invites us to follow the development of Turner's incandescent art, a bridge between Romanticism and Impressionism and one of Britain's most remarkable contributions to art history.
