J. M. W. Turner

Master of the landscape genre and one of the finest painters Britain has ever produced, Turner (1775-1851) bequeathed a huge body of his work to the nation. In 1987, a permanent Turner exhibition finally went on display, in a newly-built wing, at London's Tate Gallery. An exclusive preview of this collection forms the framework for this celebration of the artist's life and work, which includes contributions from critics and painters - Patrick Heron, Howard Hodgkin and Peter Blake among them.
