| ALL AT SEA WITH TURNER Talk by Pieter van der Merwe |
|
| |
|
Turner is often criticised for his inaccuracies as a marine painter but, as this informal look at some of his sketches will demonstrate, his drawings offer many insights on shipping and coastal life of his age.
Pieter van der Merwe is General Editor at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and has a long-standing interest in both Turner and English marine painting in general.
Numbers for this event are limited and tickets will be allocated on a strictly first come, first served basis. Tickets are available from Nick Reese, 2 Central Park Lodge, 54-58 Bolsover Street, London W1W 5NG (please enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope). If numbers exceed 20 there will be a second session at 12 noon (and this time will be indicated on your ticket). Please supply your telephone number or email address on your application.

| TURNER'S BIRD STUDIES Exhibition tour led by Nigel Walsh |
|
|
|
Turner's exquisite bird studies were made after a shooting excursion with Walter Fawkes of Farnley Hall, where they formed part of a large ornithological album. This new display looks at them in context of their times and attitudes to natural science. Nigel Walsh is Curator of Contemporary Art at Leeds Art Gallery.
Members may like to meet for lunch in the café at 12.30.

31st Annual Kurt Pantzer Memorial Lecture "FIRST OF ALL, RESPECT YOUR PAPER!" THE USE OF PAPER BY TURNER AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES Lecture By Peter Bower |
|
| |
|
This lecture explores the responses of Turner and some of his contemporaries to the new papers that became available in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as a result of major changes in paper making technology.
Peter Bower is a Forensic Paper Historian and Paper Analyst, specialising in the examination and analysis of papers for purposes of dating, attribution, authentication and usage. He was awarded a Volkswagen Turner Scholarship, later followed by a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship, to undertake a major historical and technical analysis of Turner's use of paper. This project resulted in the publication of two books and two exhibitions at Tate Britain. Bower has also published extensively on the use of paper by other artists, ranging from Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci to Constable, Girtin and Cox. |
