(I have jealously been watching only through IG posts). Interesting comparison to Rothko. Well, artists are like the rest of us as we age: some get more free & others, more rigid. & then there are those like Van Gogh. The Art Institute of Chicago has tail end of fantastic show of his 3 versions of his bedrooms, with some of his late work.

I wish I dared live like that. Like speaking in code to yourself.

These ...thanks for that interesting comment, Tamar. These paintings were obviously made by a keen intelligence and definitely not slap-dash. I saw the Turner movie and understand why Wilton was upset about it; it emphasized Turner's working class roots and wasn't very good on his astute and sensitive painting.

He kept repeating his opinion that Turner was like a miniaturist. That although the paintings appeared quite simplified and abstract, upon closer examination (as your close-ups show) his paintings were in fact detailed and carefully built. I think he was particularly adamant about this because the film Mr. Turner had just been released and he thought it portrayed him as a slap-dash painter. Anyway, it was a very interesting lecture - and this is a great post, with beautiful paintings of Turner's, so much atmosphere and light - thank you for sharing your experience seeing them.Tamarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444330321355206774noreply@blogger.com
