Small format, so as already read in some reviews, the paintings are too small to affect. First you cannot see any details. For example I remember that the picture "Seaport with the Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba" is a very beautiful realistic and mystic painting, but in this book you can only suppose how impressive this really is. The other more abstract paintings with mystic skies do not affect either, because they need a bigger size too, so that you can see the true colours and how they flow together. It is a pity to print the paintings in such a small format. Turner was a very talented artist and he was very modern for his time, finding his own style similar to the later impressionism. The text in written in a very small type size, so that it is very tiring to read it. ### ⭐⭐ Disappointing! *by G***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2011* Most of the small, inexpensive Taschen art books are delightful -- well printed and well written -- but this one fails on both counts. I'm not really surprised that the paintings and water colors of J.M.W Turner don't comes across in this small format; the luminous transparency of his colors and the textures of his pigments simply defy photography and lithography. The most I hoped for was that the reproductions would stir my memories of Turner's works that I've seen in London, Berlin, and Philadelphia. But I wanted more from the text. Turner is an amazing phenomenon if you consider his dates: born in 1775, most of his best work done before 1840, died in 1851. For a comparison, Monet was born in 1840, Renoir in 1841. Turner's range of affect was astonishing, from paintings as dire as Goya's to impressionism to incipient abstraction, and all breathtakingly polished in technique. I wanted to know something of his life, of his mode of living and painting, of his mind. The text by Michael Bockemühl may have some of that information in it, but it's insufferably over-written and impenetrably disorganized. Even supposing that it's a translation from German done by a native Tibetan speaker with a degree in the philosophy of Schopenhauer from a University in Albania, I couldn't keep my eyes focused on the phrases long enough to extract anything meaningful from this pompous rambling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure Genius! *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013* I say that I love this book, and I do but not many of Turner's works would I want on my walls. Most of his seascapes are too restrained and mystical for my taste, having spent some years at sea. The book is informative and inviting to deeper thought. My favourite reproduction by far is "The Passage of the St Gotthard" 1804. There is life and movement and human endeavour in it.W.J.
