A Reading of the Life in Art of J.M.W. Turner. J.M.W. Turner may be seen as a turbulent artist for a turbulent time. This paper will discuss the life and work of Turner as metaphors for their age. It will be shown how Turner, in his art, represented the complexity and the ambivalence of his time; both looking forward with anticipation to the future, and gazing back nostalgically at a past that would soon be forgotten. 15.5 pgs. 22 f/c. 7b.
