Los Angeles holds 2 works by J. M. W. Turner across 2 institutions, including Getty Center and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
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.
