TURNER AND COLOUR

HOTEL DE CAUMONT CENTRE D'ART / AIX-EN-PROVENCE

Following the success of the exhibitions, "Canaletto - Rome, London, Venice" and "The Collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein", the Hôtel de Caumont Centre d’Art in Aix-en-Provence presents a new exhibition from 4 May 2016, paying tribute to the work of Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775 – 1851), undoubtedly one of the most iconic English painters of the 19th century. The exhibition entitled "Turner and Colour" was organized in partnership with the Turner Contemporary of Margate (England) and benefits from the remarkable generosity of the Tate Gallery London, which provided over thirty of the masterpieces bequeathed by the artist to the British nation. With over 120 watercolours, gouaches and oils on display coming from some of the most prestigious English and international museums—the Royal Academy of London, the Ashmolean Museum of Oxford and the Dallas Museum of Art, among others—this exhibition also provides the public with an opportunity to discover previously unseen works coming from private collections, as well as some ensembles of watercolours shown together for the first time.
