Shanghai Pudong Art Museum: Conversations with Turner, Sublime Echoes.

William Turner, a 19th-century British romantic painter, was famous for his unique expressiveness of color and control of light. From the towering peaks of the Alps to the winding water alleys of Venice, Turner's landscapes are like colors. The symphony of light touches the heartstrings of the viewer and records the eternal dialogue between man and nature. In October this year, the exhibition "Conversations with Turner: Echoes of the Sublime" opened at Shanghai Pudong Art Museum. The nearly 80 Turner oil paintings and watercolors on display in the exhibition are all from the Tate Modern Museum in the UK. Through 8 units, the painter's representative works and style changes in different periods of his artistic career are comprehensively displayed. The exhibition will last until May next year. "In addition to Shakespeare and Francis Bacon, Turner is the third star in the sky of wisdom." The 19th-century British art critic John Ruskin commented on Turner's artistic achievements when talking about his country's art giants. He believed that Shakespeare revealed the truth of human nature to people, Bacon expounded the laws of nature, and Turner described the appearance of nature. Turner was born in London in 1775. He has extraordinary artistic talent and was officially elected as an academician of the Royal Academy of Arts at the age of 26. Turner loved traveling throughout his life. While traveling around, he sketched scenery and created more than 300 oil paintings, more than 2,000 watercolors and more than 30,000 landscape sketches. More than 200 years ago, Turner depicted the magnificence and magnificence of nature, which made landscape painting shine. The painter himself became the pioneer of Impressionism that kicked off modern art. Today, Turner's artistic spirit still shines with dazzling brilliance. This may be a profound meaning of the "dialogue" approach adopted in this exhibition.
