00The Text (about William Turner) 02br
02br
00In the beginning William Turner had studied the great artists of the 16th and 17th century, primarily Rembrandt, Tizian and Claude Lorrain were his idols in his early working period. The at this time understanding of landscape pictures got overworked by Turner. No longer the religious stood in the foreground (like e. g. at Caspar David Friedrich), but the nature as whole got studied and captured in outlines, watercolor paintings and oil paintings. He helped this nature painting to get recognition and respect with his colleagues. With him the light, the nature elements and resolved forms took a primary role. Turner had dealt with color theories in detail and recognized, that the mixture of two colors is less shining than the additive mixture made in the eye. With by side by side lying spots and points he gave the colors an unsurpassed brightness. For this he used pure, vivid colors and much cover-wight. Especially the color yellow or the combination yellow-blue got used frequently in Turners paintings. Turner applies this colors in different thickness with a spatula, rubs them, scrapes them with a brush style and uses his fingertips and breadcrumbs to obtain the dessired effect. A studio assistant reported about the special and fast creation of a painting: 02br
02br
00“He began by pouring wet color onto the paper until it was satured. Then he ripped, scratched and scraped at it in a heat and everything was a chaos - but step by step, like magic, the wonderful ship took shape with all his exquisite details and at noon it was brought along in triumph.” 02br
02br
00Turner not only revolutionized the coloration, but also solved the outlines of the objects in his paintings and like that created a totally new and boundless world. In his paintings there are hardly clear lines, most the time there are no strong vanishing points, however, the picture gains a certain depth by the colors chosen. But trough his unconventional style Turner also got heavily criticized. Many colleagues and art lovers from that time moked this new style, called his paintings “to look like a curry-meal” or seriously thought about which part of the painting was the upper part. But despite all criticism many impressionists were convinced and impressed by Turner´s painting. Some of his most well-known admires are Claude Monet, Camillo Pissaro and Henri Matisse. 02br
