Turner's Sketches and Drawings by A. J. Finberg
"Turner's Sketches and Drawings" by A. J. Finberg is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically drawing from the late 19th century to early 20th century. This work delves into the artistic journey of the renowned landscape painter J.M.W. Turner, focusing on his sketches and drawings, which are seen as fundamental stepping stones in the development of his celebrated masterpieces. The text seeks to illuminate the creative process behindTurner's art, exploring the varying phases of his artistic evolution and the influences that shaped his unique vision. The opening of the book establishes the framework for Finberg's study, asserting that Turner's sketches and drawings must be understood as essential elements of his artistic expression rather than mere preliminary works. Finberg outlines his method of analysis, describing how he has organized Turner's career into distinct phases for clarity in studying the evolution of his work. He introduces the reader to Turner's early years—his apprenticeship, influences from other artists, and the gradual transition from detailed topography to a more subjective and emotional interpretation of nature. The text emphasizes the significance of understanding the relationship between Turner's sketches and his finished works to appreciate fully the depth of his artistry.
