Works on Paper Highlights Talk: Turner at 250

Manton Study Center for Works on Paper

Born 250 years ago, British artist J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) is beloved for his incomparable landscape watercolors. Anne Leonard, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, showcases a career-spanning selection of Turner’s works on paper, from early topographical views to the lushly abstract landscapes of his later years.
This event is part of a series of Works on Paper Highlights Talks in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, which houses the Clark's collection of more than 6,500 prints, drawings, and photographs. Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays in the end of July and through August from 1–1:30 pm.
Free. Capacity is limited. Seating is first-come, first-served.
The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper is located next to the Berenice Abbott’s Modern Lens exhibition in the Manton Research Center.
