Standing in the sun : a life of J. M. W. Turner
Bailey, Anthony1998
Books, Manuscripts
For this new biography, the first comprehensive narrative of his life for a generation, Anthony Bailey has searched through the archives, studied the scholarly literature, and has looked at almost all of Turner's sketchbooks to shed new light on this complicated and secretive man. He has set out to write a biography of the man, not a book about his paintings, and Turner comes wonderfully to life in these pages.
