{"product_id":"turners-modern-world","title":"Turner's Modern World","description":"A landmark publication positions Turner as a pioneer in depicting contemporary life in the wake of dizzying changes resulting from industrialization and modernization.  This monograph is tied to the first exhibition to highlight Turners contemporary imagery--the most exceptional and distinctive aspect of his work. Rather than making claims for Turner as a proto-modernist  it explores what constituted modernity during his lifetime and what it meant to be a modern artist.  Turners career spanned the Napoleonic Wars  the rise of the British Empire  the birth of finance capitalism and modern industrialization  as well as political  scientific  and cultural advances that transformed society and shaped the modern world. While historians have long recognized that the industrial and political revolutions of the late eighteenth century inaugurated far-reaching change and modernization  these were often ignored by artists as they did not fit into established categories of pictorial representation. This publication shows Turner updating the language of art and transforming his style and practice to produce revelatory  definitive interpretations of modern subjects.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44738378399797,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847869342","price":111.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0847869342_613762c5-c86f-4a77-af62-ffd1caadee1e.jpg?v=1768744877","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/turners-modern-world","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
