Art And The Avon Gorge Talk

As a teenager holidaying in Bristol, JMW Turner earned himself the nickname 'Prince of the Rocks' for the hours he spent climbing and painting in the Avon Gorge. Join Professor Sam Smiles as he discusses how the unique geology, landscape and history of the Gorge - and Turner's influence - have inspired further generations of artists. Includes reference to early watercolours by JMW Turner and works by the Bristol School of Artists Professor Sam Smiles, is a Tate Research Fellow, and Associate Professor of Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Exeter.
