Constable Vs. Turner (ctd.)
September 22 2014
Video: ArtFund
The V&A and Tate are showing exhibitions on Constable and Turner. In this ArtFund video, art historian Jacky Klein looks at who is better. She plumps for Constable in the end.
Update - Mark Lawson has also written about the two artists here in The New Statesman.
Update II - a reader writes:
Regarding Constable and Turner the former was the greater painter and the latter the greater artist.
A similar statement was made I believe regarding Picasso and Matisse.
Nice distinction.
