But he responded intensely to its possibilities – to the ambition of inventors, the daring of engineers, the discoveries of scientists, and to the way his age seemed to be hurtling into a new technological future. His paintings of light and air, of sea and land, are full of wonder and he adapted his techniques – slashing and scraping, blotching and blurring – to suggest that the social realm, too, was always on the cusp of change, dynamic and evolving. In this, more than anything, he was a painter of the modern world.' Biographer and historian Jenny Uglow writes on J.M.W. Turner's fascination with modern technology, scientific innovation and 'the fire and force of industry'. 🔗 Link in bio for the full #TateEtc article. 🖼️ Joseph Mallord William Turner, Snow Storm - Steam-Boat off a Harbour’s Mouth, exhibited 1842. #TurnersModernWorld」11月19日 4時31分
