  • JMW Turner to Appear on the Next £20 Banknote
    Press Office Threadneedle Street London EC2R 8AH T 020 7601 4411 F 020 7601 5460 [email protected] www.bankofengland.co.uk 22 April 2016 J.M.W. Turner to appear on the next £20 banknote Today, Bank of England Governor, Mark Carney, announced that J.M.W. Turner will appear on the next £20 banknote due to be issued by 2020. At the announcement at Turner Contemporary in Margate, the Governor revealed the image of Turner that will be used on the note. The selection of Turner is the first time the Bank of England has used the more open and transparent character selection process announced in December 2013. The process began in early 2015 with the formation of the Banknote Character Advisory Committee which as its first act selected the visual arts field. This was followed by a two month nomination period in summer 2015 during which members of the public could suggest a figure from the visual arts. The Bank received 29,701 nominations covering 590 eligible characters. The Committee, with input from public focus groups, then produced a shortlist which it discussed in detail with the Governor who made the final decision. Commenting on the decision, the Governor said: “I am delighted to announce that J.M.W. Turner has been chosen to appear on the next £20 note. Turner is perhaps the single most influential British artist of all time. His work was transformative, bridging the classical and modern worlds. His influence spanned his lifetime and is still apparent today. Turner bequeathed this painting to the nation, an example of his important contribution to British society.

Spanning his early architectural drawings from the 1790s to the paintings of steam power in the 1840s, it examines what it meant to be a modern artist during Turner’s lifetime. Turner lived through revolutions, the Napoleonic Wars, the violent expansion of empires and the abolition of slavery in British colonies. At the same time, industrial development saw the construction of canals and brought machines to the workplace, while steamships and railways transformed travel.

    A Londoner Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in April 1775 in Covent Garden, London. His father, William, was a barber and wigmaker and his mother was called Mary. Joseph’s father was supportive of his artistic talent and would display his son’s early drawings in his shop. Joseph Turner kept his Cockney accent all his life. Did You Know? The Royal Academy of Arts Joseph attended the Royal Academy of Arts school in 1789 and was accepted into the academy the following year. Although Joseph was interested in architecture, he was advised to carry on painting watercolour pictures. He sold some of his watercolour paintings to help pay for his fees at the Academy. Joseph Turner was only fourteen years old when he started studying at Did You Know? the Academy. Capturing the Light Joseph Turner began sketching outside, using these as a basis for his paintings, indoors. This led to him touring the country during the summer and working in the studio in the winter. He became known as “The Painter of Light”. In 1796, he exhibited his first painting in oils: ‘Fishermen at Sea’. As you look at the following paintings, think about why Turner was known as Did You Know? “The Painter of Light”. Fishermen at Sea What are your thoughts about this painting?

Self-Portrait 1798, oil on canvas, 29” x 23”, Tate Gallery, London Turner painted only two self-portraits and exhibited neither. This portrait, painted at age 23, shows him in a more flattering appearance than anyone elseʼs portraits of him. Turner was already successful and thus he portrayed himself in all the finery of a young English gentleman. Visually he emerges from the darkened space, shining like a bright light, looking into the future. This treatment of light foreshadows Turnerʼs career, where it was a driving force in his romantic depiction of dramatic scenes. The eyes are the emphasized feature; they gaze directly at the viewer and yet beyond. Note the contrast of the artistʼs face, hair and cravat against the dark, negative background. Turner is setting the mood and expressing his feelings Where are the areas of about his artistic standing at the time. He achieves this through contrasts of greatest contrast? color, value and shape. 2. Fishermen at Sea 1796, oil on canvas, 36” x 48”, Tate Gallery, London By the age of 21, Turner had already exhibited at the Royal Academy for seven years, but this was his first oil painting. It attracted critical notice as “proof of an original mind” because the seascape was quite unconventional. The eerily moonlit scene contains three different kinds of light: moonlight through the clouds (here we see his inexperience in oils, the clouds seem to continue behind the moon), moonlight reflected off a stormy sea (Turner frequently returned to the theme of nature in one of its violent moods), and the glow of the shipsʼ lanterns, which reflects the men What do you call a painting in the boat struggling to escape the darkness that surrounds them.

Turner became increasingly prone to display his work on exhibition canvases, making the most of the varnishing days of the Royal Academy of Arts and British Institution to finish his paintings in public. These performative displays may be connected to the increasingly gestural nature of his production, to his quest for a form of adequation between his own emotional involvement in the process of painting and the dynamic motions of nature, but also to his new awareness of the process of pictorial creation as a lived or kinaesthetic experience in which vision and movement are fused. While romantic theories of expression may shed light on such an evolution, this article argues that Turner’s work seems to articulate a number of issues raised by phenomenological accounts of pictorial creation.
