Summary: "Turner" by W. Cosmo Monkhouse is a biographical account focusing on the life and art of the renowned painter J.M.W. Turner, written in the late 19th century. This biography aims to weave together events and anecdotes that illustrate Turner's unique character and artistic genius, contrasting his lonely and often troubled personal life with the brilliance of his artistic output. The opening of the biography sets the tone for the complexity of Turner's character, depicting him as an artist who, much like the works he produced, was marked by a deep sensitivity to nature yet a lack of social grace. Monkhouse reflects on Turner's seclusion and the challenges he faced in communicating his thoughts and emotions, revealing a man whose artistic imagination flourished as he withdrew into himself. The introduction mentions Turner's beginnings, his formative years, and the early influences that shaped his burgeoning talent, hinting at the struggles he encountered in balancing his artistic pursuits with his solitary lifestyle. This opening establishes a compelling portrait of Turner, intriguing readers with the promise of an in-depth exploration of both the painter's work and his enigmatic persona.
