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.
