While at school I proposed the idea that Turner was the first impressionist to my art teacher who said "Don't be so ridiculous"...I never did like her.
he definitely could be but since he is not regarded as one so i understand your teacher's disdain, still calling that " ridiculous" is a bit rude and uncalled for...
There are those that are taught to teach and then there are those that know there subject (they are not the same)- Turner is obviously a forerunner of the Impressionists who adopted his style as theirs, therefore I totally agree with you that he is the first Impressionist. However do bear in mind he is English and lower class therefore he cannot be either creative or avant garde - only the French can be that.
Turner was the greatest landscape painter ever. And the impressionists owe him a debt. Nobody has captured Nature’s raw power and majesty better than he did . Salute from kolkata India to a great master.
I once read an article written by an ophthalmologist who was a fan of Turner. It was his medical opinion that the reason for the change in Turner’s work was due to cataracts. His use of yellow also increased and the yellowing of one’s vision and the loss of visual clarity are both classic symptoms of cataracts.
Yes. I read that maybe 40 years ago. Makes sense but he still put small details in the widest pictures and white paint goes yellow with age. The ophthalmologist might have been referring to paintings before restoration - the effect can be very dramatic.
@@cuebjsmall details could be like how deaf people can still make music and deaf piano players can go on to play. He already had the knowledge imagination and the hand But if he was seeing a white sky as yellow he would make a mistake, but not if he couldn't really see a bird properly
The piece at 13:08 is called Falls of Schaffhausen (Val d’Aosta) and lies in the National Gallery of Victoria. I can't even express how many times I've stared at it and am always in complete awe of how beautiful this masterpiece is.
I was in Art School in Boston when the Isabella Stewart Gardner art heist happened it was devastating! and still is. Art theft is the worst theft of all imo
Anyone who has any understanding of 20th century physics should feel a great pathos with the break with realism. Our common sense perceptions are the single biggest stumbling block between humanity and truth.
So the nation gets their Turner's back, and all they had to do was fully capitulate to the thieves demands. Sounds like a classic win-win situation to me. And the term "recovery fee" is such a fantastic euphemism for a ransom pay-off, so kudos to the nation's lawyer's on that bit of work.
20:03. So the long suffering British Public paid AGAIN. From a Dodgy German lawyer representing the Middle men. ! No one knows how much WE Paid. But is was over 3million EUROs. How outrageous. Once again we got mugged off. And the Lawyers got the gold. It makes me sick inside. This kind of double dealing. Is a symptom of society today
T S Go back and listen to the narrative of the expert from Tate. He was deliberately vague; however, the thieves were identified and arrested, but they had already handed off the paintings to unidentified person or persons unknown. If you listen, you will hear the man say that the Tate put out the word, sub rosa, that they would pay a finder's fee for information leading to the recovery of the paintings. They received many leads which were followed up and eventually first one painting and then the second was returned. Presumably finder's fees were paid, but the exact details will probably never be known outside the art world.
@@kathleenmckenzie6261 I assume there must have been some sort of agreement between the Tate and the "finder" that the details of the transaction and the identity of the "finder" would remain a secret. What I can surmise from all this is that the "finder" may have been in some way involved with the theft, or, at the very least, was familiar enough with the black market that they were able to broker a deal between whoever had the paintings and the Tate. Which means that this person, whoever they are, could be guilty of crimes related to theft or sale of stolen art, or something to that effect. My guess is that the Tate would rather pay the fee and allow that person (and any others involved) go free, rather than risk losing the paintings forever. It's a bit like paying a ransom to get a loved one back, really. The only problem is that, as someone in this documentary correctly pointed out, this sets a precedent and encourages potential thieves to "kidnap" works of art and then ask for "ransom money" to return them to the museums/galleries they were stolen from.
@@babablacksheepdog Exactly! You explained it much better than I did. Thank you. It's amazing the fraud and theft that goes on in the art world and the public seldom, if ever, hears about it.
Now, where might one store a painting where no one might get to them and from where they might be safely returned "without a scratch"? The number of places that fit this description are limited. Justice does not flow from wrongs done but from a will to see them punished. These types of thefts will only continue to happen until we start seeing prominent and affluent collectors arrested and marched in front of the media as the ethical horror shows that they are.
I don’t know art except for the beauty! The documentary movie I saw is the latest . I think the sex in it was embarrassing and demeaning for the artist. But, that’s Hollywood for you. But being able to see his art and how and why he changed his style was very interesting. I’m glad I saw this movie and then saw this from Google.
You missed the point of the "Light and Colour" and "Shade and Darkness" paintings. Notice the heavenly host of souls in LAC. These are Heaven and Hell paintings.
Somehow I doubt Mr. Turner actually used colors from the tube. Well, it would bekinda possible since they were founded in 1841 or so -but still. However great art dokumentaries anyway;)
@@catofthecastle1681 Actually, dear, those of us with poor eyesight think that all the time! If you want to fantasise, carry on! But I have Turner's Every day of my Life when I take my glasses off. I don't need to 'Imagine' Ain't I lucky? Actually I am. I see light differently without glasses to with, so I can flip from one to the other, no 'imagination' required. It is there, in front of me! For example I have a street light across the road. If I look at it through my glasses it is a street lamp If I look at it without glasses it becomes a bright nimbus surrounded by an aura of rainbow light. Maybe that is what Turner got too. Sorry to burst your poetic bubble
He was an early impressionist in his later works just like the roman emperor Tiberius was an early form of a stalinist. They had to pay for getting back the stolen paintings due to incompetence. Why didn't they use force to make the thieves talk and unravel the whole sequence behind it?...
I keep hoping for even halfway decent reproductions of the complete paintings, but no. Complete compositions are either small or out of focus. And for some confused reason they usually show only PARTS of the painting full-screen, so you miss the composition, and even those they keep moving at all times to distract you...as though it was an animated art form.

Fuck man what isn't revolutionary these days. So tired of hearing it. From now on everytime I hear the word revolutionary in one of these youtube vids Im turning it off.
One of my favorite painters of all time. His later work is truly immortal in it's transcendence. The painting equivalent of later Beethoven.

I totally agree hat Turner should be considered the first Impressionist, how could he not be? Monet admitted that he was influenced by him.
he definitely could be but since he is not regarded as one so i understand your teacher's disdain, still calling that " ridiculous" is a bit rude and uncalled for...

Yes, a dogmatic art teacher could stifle discovery, the whole purpose of art.
We've all be exposed to short-sighted teachers. Their stupidity stays with us for a lifetime.

I can fully accept that! As someone who has been myopic all my life, Turner is just painting what We see. The cataracts are definitely likely.

Omg another Turner doc i havent seen!!!! Thank you!!!! xxxx
Turner has always had something special
the light, the color. incredible.
I was in Art School in Boston when the Isabella Stewart Gardner art heist happened it was devastating! and still is. Art theft is the worst theft of all imo
Amazing!!! Thank you for this art content
Turner’s initial criticism as he produced more expressionist work reminds me of when Bob Dylan went from acoustic folk to electric pop.
Geez as a composer I gotta say dude that's all you got?
@mike adan klliklk
David Roberge. Great analogy
Such a versatile artist!

Great story of Turner and his art.
Excellent.
An interesting story...ty..
Thank you so much 🙏
I believe Turner to be the greatest artist that has ever lived !
From yesterday, December, winter began.
~ A new week/month- Always wish you good health and good things together. ^O^
Very interesting & educational! I always thought of Turner as a Barbizon painter! I stand corrected!
I wonder where those first Turner's sold from the Barber shop ended up... 5:30
Great job as always
I like his paintings

But being able to see his art and how and why he changed his style was very interesting. I’m glad I saw this movie and then saw this from Google.
I dont mind that the subject was more the theft than the man, but i did find the jumping around and repetitive nature very irritating.

In his later years his eyesight was probably failing. That would explain the progression of his style.
Why do you say that? Maybe he grew as an artist and saw past just reproducing scenes and found a new vision of the world! No imagination at all!

Bloody background music ruins the video- why oh why?!
You might fancy art historians also having some musical taste, alas.
Far too many commercials. And is this about Turner, or is it about the theft? A melodramatic mish-mash.
All videos on UA-cam have ads. Get an ad blocker.
Melodramatic, exactly.
Ever heard of uBlock or Adblock browser extensions?
The one at 1:38 looks so like Chagall’s work. Of course, it was Chagall inspired by Turner.
When the perpetual fog he is living in will eventually lift, it'll all be clearer....
At the very least, the museum received the insurance money plus they got their paintings-
Back out of the basement. Whew!
He was an early impressionist in his later works just like the roman emperor Tiberius was an early form of a stalinist. They had to pay for getting back the stolen paintings due to incompetence. Why didn't they use force to make the thieves talk and unravel the whole sequence behind it?...
One of my longtime favorites. Sad to hear his disdain for marriage while he fathers children. Harsh.
Not to mention tossing his ill mother into one of the worst asylums.
I think when he got older, with what was , obviously, congestive heart failure, his mind was failing and he was obsessed with his painting!
I keep hoping for even halfway decent reproductions of the complete paintings, but no. Complete compositions are either small or out of focus. And for some confused reason they usually show only PARTS of the painting full-screen, so you miss the composition, and even those they keep moving at all times to distract you...as though it was an animated art form.
