Luminous Horizons - Celebrating the Legacy of J.M.W. Turner
Overview
In honor of J.M.W. Turner’s 250th birthday, Newfields presents Luminous Horizons: Celebrating the Legacy of J.M.W. Turner, with works from The Indianapolis Museum of Art's important Turner collection.
Turner remains one of the most influential artists in history, revolutionizing landscape painting as a genre. His expressive brushwork laid the groundwork for the development of modernism, and he was among a group of artists who turned watercolor into a standalone art form. Luminous Horizons will present 17 landscape watercolors and drawings by Turner.
The museum began collecting watercolors by Turner and his contemporaries over a century ago, but its current scope and renown is due to the efforts of Kurt F. Pantzer (1892–1979), an Indianapolis attorney and collector who was devoted to all things related to Turner.
This exhibition is curated by Anna Stein, Associate Curator of Works on Paper.
