Turner's Sketchbooks

One of the most popular painters of all time, J. M. W. Turner (1775â€“1851) created a remarkable collection of sketchbooks over the course of his career. Thoughtful, revealing, and beautifully rendered, Turnerâ€™s sketchbooks offer an unparalleled window into his creative process. In the absence of detailed written accounts of his extensive travels, the notebooks also contain his impressions of the many places he visited across Britain and Europe. In this book, the first full survey of the artistâ€™s
sketchbooks, readers are invited to take a privileged look over Turnerâ€™s shoulder, witnessing the creation and development of ideas that can be traced through to his major paintings. Beginning with his teenage efforts and culminating in the atmospheric color studies of his last years, Turnerâ€™s Sketchbooks is a unique opportunity to explore the mind of a beloved artist.
