This weekend I decided to go see a big exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art: The paintings of J.M.W. Turner. Because of a special event at the museum, tickets were half price! Turner was one of the most widely known landscape painters of the 19th century and is renowned for his mastery of contrast, both in his subject matter and in his depictions of light and color. As a "newer" museum, the DMA's permanent collection is, shall we say, still developing. However, it does manage to attract significant traveling exhibits such as this one. If you enjoy pre-impressionist landscapes, seek out this exhibition of over 150 Turner works from collections throughout the world!
