註釋The son of a Covent Garden barber and a woman who died in Bethlehem mental hospital, Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) achieved fame and fortune during his lifetime, and today stands as Britain's most important and most mysterious artist. Although he possessed a wide-ranging imagination, he was an often incoherent speaker and writer, and his muddled will produced considerable discord.Masterfully researched and brilliantly written, Standing in the Sun is a portrait of the man. With fascinating, fresh material, Anthony Bailey makes it possible for readers to come to know and understand this complicated artist, who was both reclusive and gregarious, private and vainglorious, tough and vulnerable, a long-term bachelor and the father of two daughters. Standing in the Sun brings the man and his art vividly to life in its pages.
