Description
In this second of two volumes, Bower, a forensic paper historian whose work on Turner's papers has been exhibited at the Tate Gallery, relates the importance of the surface upon which Turner's watercolors were painted, and explains the ways that Turner adapted to and utilized the rapidly changing production of artistic foundations. Hundreds of b&w pictures and several color photographs illustrate the variety of paper used. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
