Legacy
• Paintings became increasingly abstract as he was driven to portray light, space and nature
• Turner encountered violet criticisms as his style became increasingly free
• His paintings were revolutionary, and extremely influential, laying the groundwork for impressionism, post-impressionism, abstract expressionism, colour-field painting, and the list goes on.
