Drawing from the Tate Gallery's extensive collection of oil sketches, this book investigates Turner's approach to outdoor painting, and his open-air sketches. It does so in the context of works by Constable and other contemporaries of Turner.

To accompany a landmark exhibition of the art of J.M.W. Turner, this book presents Turner as a pioneer painter of contemporary life, finding new ways to picture the momentous events and dizzying changes of modernization.
