The Arts Society West Sussex – Turner vs Constable: The Great British Paint Off

May 4, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm UTC+0

4 MAY 2021

2.00pm – 3.00pm

PRESENTED BY NICOLA MOORBY

The story of the epic rivalry between the two giants of British art, JMW Turner and John Constable. As unlike in background and temperament as their paintings were in style, these two creative geniuses transformed the art of landscape during the nineteenth century. This lecture examines their ‘signature’ paints; how they overcame the ‘technical challenge’ of sketching from nature and how their differing approaches fared in the competitive arena of the Royal Academy.

 Nicola is an independent art historian specialising in British art of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She studied at the University of York and Birkbeck College, London. Formerly a curator at Tate Britain she has curated a number of exhibitions and has published widely on J.M.W. Turner, including contributions to the forthcoming online catalogue of the Turner Bequest. She is also co-editor and author of How to Paint Like Turner (Tate Publishing, 2010).
