| | Turner Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Turner Prize is an annual prize given to a British visual artist under 50, named after the painter J.M.W. Turner. | | | They show particular antipathy towards the Turner Prize, describing it as an "ongoing national joke" and "a state-funded advertising agency for Charles Saatchi"; they continue: "the only artist who wouldn't be in danger of winning the Turner Prize is Turner", concluding that it "should be re-named The Duchamp Award for the destruction of artistic integrity". | | | In 1993, Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond of the K Foundation received media coverage for the award of the "Anti-Turner Prize", £40,000 to be given to the "worst artist in Britain", voted from the real Turner Prize's short-list. |

| | The Art of J.M.W. Turner, by David Blayney Brown. | | | Another contemporary artist described how Turner sent in a picture to the British Institution exhibition of 1835 in a state no more finished than 'a mere dab of several colours, and "without form and void"'; the account continues that 'Such a magician, performing his incantations in public, was an object of interest and attraction'. | | | Turner's interest in figures had already shown itself in a number of sometimes rather playful genre and historical scenes in the earlier 1820s and continued in the late 1820s and earlier 1830s, partly under the influence of Rembrandt: 'Pilate washing his Hands' shows Rembrandt's chiaroscuro treated in terms of rich colour. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Arts special reports Turner prize shock: out of four serious competitors, the best artist wins |
| | The annual Turner prize is the most prestigious and most rancorous in the art world, usually noted as much for controversy and faction-fighting as for the quality of the art. | | | Winning the Turner Prize can seriously affect your wealth: figures released yesterday show dramatic increases in auction prices for the work of previous winners, topped by Anish Kapoor, who won in 1991, and whose prices have risen at auction by 61% over the past six years. | | | The prize fund was doubled, with the first prize increased from £20,000 to £25,000, and runner-up prizes of £5,000 each. |

| | Vincent Art Gallery: About Joseph Turner |
| | In his atmospheric depictions of shipwrecks and natural disasters, perhaps inspired by such works as the "Battle of Trafalgar" by Loutherbourg, who lived in Turner's neighborhood, reality and fantasy merge, and colour becomes a metaphor for the power of natural forces. | | | Turner's first period (1800-1820) is marked by mythological and historical scenes in which the coloring is subdued and details and contours are emphasized. | | | Turner was born in London and studied at the Royal Academy of Arts. |

| | Turner infused landscape with passion, energy, power, interpreting his subject on its most epic and elemental levels. | | | To modern eyes, however, looking back over the last hundred years, when painters removed all subject except the paint, Turner's work is not only great but also prescient. | | | Turner's work, with its strident emotionalism, has been called the culmination of the Romantic landscape. |

| | When his entry for the Turner Prize exhibition was unveiled at the Tate Britain in London last month, it met with a mixture of incredulity, attempts at deep philosophising and plain outrage. | | | THE £20,000 annual Turner Prize, sometimes also known as the Prize for the Emperor's New Clothes, was awarded last night to an artist who exhibited an empty room with lights that flicker on and off every five seconds. | | | After seeing the work of the four artists shortlisted this year, many critics said the prize, for British artists under 50, had plumbed new depths, was run by a self-selecting cabal and should, after a 17-year run, be put out of its misery. |
