Issued in conjunction with a 2004-2005 series of exhibitions exploring the artistic triangle represented by the lives and works of J. M. W. Turner, James McNeill Whistler, and Claude Monet. "Faced with a polluted industrial landscape, all three artists abandoned realism and sought out beauty in the modern urban environment. Inspired by contemporary art theory and poetry, their works are rich in environmental, political and metaphysical overtones. The artistic dialogue revealed by a close examination of their shared themes and variations sheds new light on the fertile relationship between British and French art and the evolution of the Impressionist and Symbolist landscape." (dj) With a variety of themed essays and approaches to the catalogue. The annotated and illustrated catalogue addresses 106 pieces. Includes a joint chronology. Nice!
