Turner: The 'Skies' SketchbookProduct DescriptionA beautifully produced near-facsimilie of Turner's sketchbook collecting Turner's skies studies. Turner's sketchbooks were private things which he kept to himself. They might live for some time in his coat pockets or travel bags, to be pulled out as need arose. In the studio, they served as memory banks for future work. Besides many watercolour studies of sky effects, the sketchbook reproduced within this unique publication also includes pencil sketches of places in London and the surrounding area. Turner drew and painted sky, clouds and weather all his life. As a boy he liked to go up to Hampstead Heath in North London, lie on his back to draw the sky, and return to town to sell his day s work. Late in life he made many colored studies, often in Kent which he believed had the finest skies in Europe. This edition of the sketchbook reproduces all these beautiful drawings and watercolours in facsimile, with an illustrated introduction by Turner expert David Blayney Brown discussing their background and impact.ReviewA handsome volume . . . it makes one grateful for the reproduction of the book . . . there are few pages in the book that don t reward this kind of contemplative attention with an enhanced (and often thrilling) perception of the beauty of cloud dynamics . . . the more we look, the more we see. --Alan Davis, Turner Society NewsFrom the Back CoverThe 'Skies' sketchbook takes its name from its many richly coloured sky studies.About the AuthorDavid Blayney Brown is Manton Curator of British Art, 1790 1850, Tate Britain.Shipping FREE SHIPPING.
