In the Pushkin exhibition opened on Nov. 17, Joseph Mallord William Turner (Oxon, 1775 - Oxford, 1851).
I was there on opening day, because I really like the creativity of the artist and it was time to call to see. I remember at one time was struck by his work at the National Gallery in London. The bright saturated colors superimposed on one another, create a sense of the fantastic space, and sometimes it seems that the image is alive. Such infrequent in nature will see.
I do not know why, but Pushkin went on to the traditional way and brought things (it's supported by Usmanov) only from the Tate Gallery in Londne Britten, and as I understand it is not the best. I climbed up on the site of the Tate, where 507 works stored, of which about 120 later deemed to be the most interesting.

In the Pushkin also occupy much of the early work in which a lot of classicism, and very little valued by us Turner. Quite a lot of watercolors that Turner is famous, but personally I think they were only one step in the development of the creative talent of the artist, finding his style and capabilities of painting. Frankly, I do not know anyone who would be so hot and indescribably passed fascinating natural phenomena. Of all the exhibitions I liked all work 6-7, but even they have certainly given to understand the value of talent Turner. (one of those works that Pushkin found only one, the first in the attached. other informational only. then you can still see the http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/Works...996&page=1)
a little bit about Turner:
In the Tate has a large part of the so-called "Turner's Treasure": the artist gave the state about a hundred paintings, which include paintings, recognized the most important in his career.
It is believed that in due time Turner made a revolution in the genre of landscape. He proposed a new vision of art, which made him one of the most significant artists of the XIX century. It is known that Turner had an enormous influence on artists, romantics and impressionists. Artist's personality left its mark on all his work. Most of his paintings and watercolors - landscapes, drowned in snow or fog.
Turner was one of the most famous artists of his time. He has written over five hundred paintings and about fifteen hundred watercolors. Since the beginning of his career, English painter huge success. At fourteen he entered the school of the Royal Academy of Arts, and very soon his paintings were exhibited at its annual exhibitions. At the age of twenty-six years, Turner became the youngest academician in the history of this prestigious educational institution, and five years later became professor of perspective.
At the beginning of his career, Turner worked primarily in watercolor and drawing, but soon he wanted to become a respected painter and began to paint with oil, such as "Fishermen at Sea" (1796), which became the first artist's paintings, exhibited at the Royal Academy.
Later in his painting and drawing, he began to focus on elements that have become characteristic of the style, which he followed many of his "classic" works. He began to pay attention to atmospheric effects, seek to pass through various means (mostly watercolor) the illusion of "Sublime".
After some time Turner set about trying to portray in pictures various important events. He traveled extensively in Europe, especially after the end of 1815 the Napoleonic wars. In his works of that time he used the new colorful pigments that have made it a palette more colorful. After the war Turner wrote on various subjects: his fascinated and paintings of rural life and urban realities of industrial society.
The most brilliant work - works created by Turner in the sunset of his more than 50-year career. They all its scenic effects are mixed in a single luminous mass, serving as an allegory for the unity of nature. In Turner's later works can be seen the beginnings of abstraction (this is the way, mid 19 th century !!!!!)

A small correction.
Turner brought from the Tate Brittain, and not from the Tate Modern.

this is why?
"Turner - is one of the major figures in British art. Not long ago, from private collections were sold one of Turner's watercolors, and was declared a national subscription. There is not the first time announced national subscription, when they want to leave some art in the country. It simply says that the reverence that Turner enjoyed in their country.

Watercolors, pastels do not take out ..
among other things, Turner's watercolors have brought more than 40 pieces ... but the oil well 15 pieces they can not bring, huh? You know that quite seriously think so? not even believe it. reason to question infancy and unwillingness to try and make a significant exhibition.
This exhibition Rabin took up non-profit foundation to do and see how a different level than when Pushkin did.

Now in London is a stunning exhibition of the Late Turner". I've been on permanent exhibition at the Tate gallery, and there was heard from the guide version of that in the mid-19th-century artists loved the trick with zagotovka "semi-finished" paintings and effective completion of their eyes with the public. This explains the abstraction in the works of Turner, they say, it's just unfinished work. But after this show, it became clear that this artist is 70 years ahead of its time, and went to the non-objective painting, coming to the end of his life to 100 percent of abstraction.

Yes, when you look at "Rain, steam and speed/Rain, Steam and Speed" can't believe that it was created in 1844, for 30 years before "Impression. Rising sun/Impression, soleil levant" Claude Monet, for example.
