The Turner painting can be understand as a constant light searching and an huge feeling for nature and weather. He makes some sketches and doesn't work in front of the topic finishing all inside is own studio by using his memory for the colors. "Turner, the sublime heritage" comes from a collaboration between the Grimaldi Forum and the Tate Britain the Turner bailee just after the success of the Monet exhibition in 2023. The exhibition goal is building a dialog with Turner and contemporary artists inviting in. Everything begins in a dark room like in the Turner house where his guests can watch paintings better because the darkness highlights colors. She follows with English country introducing fog and nature in which the artist Richard Long puts stones from Wales as a link. In the space dedicated to Venise the 1840 Turner drawings stays face to face with a the city representated in pop culture by Howard Hodgkin. Then comes the sea who means the potent topic in many Turner works. The Turner sea isn't peaceful but stays savage with dark lights and men can't take the control of it. The artist Jessica Wareboys imagines another sea construct with a colorful canvas cover full of love and colors. The exhibition ends with unifinished sketches of 1851 find inside the Turner studio and the curators have used a Rothko painting in 1969 as an opening on new worlds. The building dialog between Turner and contemporary artists isn't leaded by hazard because he destroyes the forms and uses expressives colors as the precursor of the impressionism, the lyric abstraction and the action painting.
