Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago holds 2 works by J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Turner pushed painting towards abstraction a century before modernism, dissolving landscapes into light and atmosphere. His canvases must be seen in person: they are large, their surfaces complex, and the experience of standing before a late Turner — light seeming to emanate from the canvas itself — has no equivalent.

Planning your visit to Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago is at Millennium Park — take the Red or Green CTA line to Adams/Wabash. Allow at least three hours; the Impressionist collection alone warrants a full morning. Illinois residents receive free entry on select days.
