Turner by James Hamilton
Landscape painter J.M.W. Turner was reticent about his private life. In this blend of biography and art history, the author introduces Turner to a new generation, scotches many Turner myths and depicts him as a giant of the 19th century and a beacon for the 21st.James Hamilton is an art and cultural historian. His books include TURNER: A LIFE, FARADAY: THE LIFE, shortlisted for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and A STRANGE BUSINESS: MAKING ART AND MONEY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN, which in 2014 was named Art Book of the Year by the SUNDAY TIMES.
Hamilton was until retirement in 2013 curator of art collections and projects in Portsmouth, Wakefield, Sheffield, Leeds and the University of Birmingham, where he is a Fellow of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts.| SKU | Unavailable |
