Reviews

"This handsome book, and the exhibition it accompanies, celebrate Turner's later work as the culmination of a lifetime of experimentation by an aged painter. . . . The well-written text (short essays and catalogue entries) comes with endnote documentation, an index, a chronology of Turner's last years, and a thorough bibliography. The illustrations are uniformly excellent. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice "This splendid work of scholarship and passion, with excellent reproductions and an impressive bibliography, should be on the shelves of every art library."--Library Journal
