Turner - Light & Landscape
Season 2 Episode 4 of 4
Art historian Leslie Primo examines six decades of archive materials to explore differing explanations of why John MW Turner is such a beloved name in British art - as a reinventer of landscape painting, a forerunner of modernism, or a recorder of the Industrial Revolution. Featuring archive contributions from Fiona Bruce, Simon Schama, Andrew Graham-Dixon and Kenneth Clarke
Art on the BBC: Turner - Light & Landscape airs on BBC Four HD at 1:55 AM, Friday 22 August. (Subtitles, finale, series.)
