Turner's modern world. New York: Rizzoli Electa, 2021, 1st printing number line ending with 1, 240pp., . A landmark publication positions Turner as a pioneer in depicting contemporary life in the wake of dizzying changes resulting from industrialization and modernization. This monograph is tied to the first exhibition to highlight Turner's contemporary imagery--the most exceptional and distinctive aspect of his work. Rather than making claims for Turner as a proto-modernist, it explores what constituted modernity during his lifetime and what it meant to be a modern artist. Turner's career spanned the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of the British Empire, the birth of finance capitalism and modern industrialization, as well as political, scientific, and cultural advances that transformed society and shaped the modern world. While historians have long recognized that the industrial and political revolutions of the late eighteenth century inaugurated far-reaching change and modernization, these were often ignored by artists as they did not fit into established categories of pictorial representation. This publication shows Turner updating the language of art and transforming his style and practice to produce revelatory, definitive interpretations of modern subjects. - "J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) lived and worked at the peak of the industrial revolution. Steam replaced sail; machine power replaced manpower; political and social reforms reshaped society. Many artists ignored these advances. This book shows how Turner transformed the way he painted to better capture a new world. Beginning in the 1790s, when Turner first observed the effects of modern life, this ground-breaking publication follows his fascination for new industry and technology, through to his famous paintings of steam boats and railway engines of the 1840s. It also looks at his engagement with the major political events of his lifetime, including the Napoleonic War, the 1832 Reform Act, and the campaign against slavery. Featuring a range of vital new perspectives on Turner and his world, and beautiful reproductions of his major works, it explores what being a modern artist was really all about." - CONTENTS: Directors' Foreword -- Curators' Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Signs of the Time: Early Work -- War and Peace -- 'Modern Thought': Turner and his Literary Contemporaries -- Home Front -- Causes and Campaigns -- Steam and Speed -- Modern Painter -- Notes -- Selected Bibliography -- List of Exhibited Works -- Image Credits -- Index.
