Synopsis
The paintings of J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) are admired by art lovers everywhere. This book reveals a new side of Turner: his erotic drawings. Until a few years ago, biographies of both Turner and critic John Ruskin claimed that in 1858 Ruskin burned bundles of erotic paintings and drawings in a fit of embarrassed Victorian censorship, to protect the artist’s reputation. However, in 2005 Turner scholar Ian Warrell suggested that the alleged burning never took place, and that almost all of the allegedly destroyed drawings are actually in the Tate collection, part of the Turner Bequest. Here Warrell explores this little-known aspect of the artist’s work in detail, placing the work in the context of Turner’s social and artistic milieu, contemporary preoccupations with art for public and “private” consumption, and the intricacies of the artist’s personal life and canonical works.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Ian Warrell is Curator (18th and 19th Century British Art), Tate; Collection
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
In December 1858 the prominent art critic John Ruskin supervised the destruction at the National Gallery of a parcel of erotic sketches made by J.M.W. Turner. Or did he? Speculation continues about what exactly the parcel contained, and whether it was indeed destroyed, especially given the existence of many works of an erotic nature in the Turner Bequest, now at Tate. If Ruskin's purge did take place, why were these not also burned? This beautifully illustrated volume is the first to explore the hidden life of Britain's most celebrated painter and his controversial legacy, and will fascinate scholars and Turner devotees alike.

Hardback. Etat : New. The first volume exclusively devoted to J.M.W. Turner's erotic works, bringing together an outstanding selection of sensual and passionate drawings by the great master, all drawn from Tate's collection. Up until a few years ago, biographies of both J.M.W. Turner and John Ruskin had claimed that, in 1858, Ruskin burned bundles of erotic paintings and drawings by Turner in a fit of embarrassed Victorian censorship, to protect Turner's posthumous reputation. Ruskin's friend Ralph Nicholson Wornum, who was Keeper of the National Gallery, was said to have colluded in the alleged destruction. However, in 2005 these works, which form part of the Turner Bequest held at Tate Britain, were re-appraised by Turner scholar Ian Warrell, who suggested that Ruskin and Wornum did not destroy the sketches and that almost all of the allegedly destroyed drawings are in the Tate collection. This lavishly illustrated book, the first exclusively devoted to Turner's erotic work, examines in detail this little known aspect of the artist's oeuvre. In his original essay, fully reproduced here, Warrell places the work within the context of Turner's social and artistic milieu, contemporary preoccupations with art for public and 'private' consumption, and the details and intricacies of Turner's life and output. An essential addition to the canon of work on Britain's most prolific and adored artist, this beautifully produced volume will be of interest to scholars, connoisseurs, and all Turner devotees.
