Publication Date: 1998-02-06
Rodner's book makes clear that Turner also drew inspiration from the Industrial Revolution. He assesses the full range of Turner's industrial art and the context of its creation, examining particular facets of Turner's concern with industrialism. Machines and workshops became sophisticated metaphors for human aspiration and weakness. Turner's industrial paintings were consistent with the larger themes that influenced his art, and in depicting the contest between steam power and environmental forces, he is unerring in his belief that nature always emerges triumphant.
