Description

"Turner Prints" is the first book for over 75 years to deal exclusively with the engraved work of J.M.W.Turner, the most popular British artist, both in Britain and abroad. Now that the long neglected subject of artists' prints has again come into favour among collectors, scholars and students, it is timely to publish this critical survey, which studies and assesses Turner's work for and with his engravers in the context of his development as a whole. The book contains a checklist of all the prints associated with Turner, a glossary of printmaking terms and a biographical outline.
