Grimaldi Forum
The greatest watercolourist of the English school of painting, J.M.W. Turner, is on display this summer at the Grimaldi Forum: 80 works by the artist on loan from the Tate. This romantic hero imbued with classicism evolved towards abstraction, a quality that is unparalleled in the history of painting. With a prodigious memory, he travelled around Britain and Europe, taking notes to paint later in London. It reveals a poetic conception of the landscape, staging the emotions that nature gives him. His influence on the sublime in art interacts here with works by major artists including John Akomfrah, Olafur Eliasson, Richard Long, Cornelia Parker, or Katie Paterson.
