"The work of Joseph Mallard William Turner represents a unique phenomenon in the history of painting: the successive achievement of two diametrically opposed styles of expression, implying a radical transformation of the sense of perception, the first style based on the continuation of an esthetic past, the second providing an example of a vision whose revolutionary power would be revealed in the time to come" (Selz 5). Looking at Turner's early work and then looking at his later work is like looking at two very different artists. Turner was accepted as a " technical revolutionary, as a prophetic visionary. Certainly he anticipated much in twentieth century painting, from impressionism to abstract color experimentation" (Lindsay front page). His work spans many years and changes from very classical landscapes to landscapes that make the eye travel through with the use of light and color to express emotion and feeling. .

Cozens (Chamot 5). .
