The lecturer, Mark Evans, is the chief member of the Curatorial team of the Exhibition: Constable: The Making of a Master, at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the author of the Catalogue. Curators Perspective: A Conservative Revolutionary: JOHN CONSTABLE and Art History Presented by Dr. MARK EVANS senior curator of paintings at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. This lecture contrasts John Constables ideas on the history of landscape painting, as revealed by lectures he gave in 1833 and 1836, with critics shocked responses to his apparent lack of finish and disregard for formal decorum. It surveys Constables posthumous international celebrity as a precursor of the Impressionists, or even a prophet of photography (the daguerreotype was invented 2 years after his death). Ironically, reverence for the old masters seems to have furnished the mainspring of Const ables own revolutionary break with the conventions of past art. John Constable (1776-1837) is generally recognized, along with J.M.W. Turner, as Englands greatest landscape painter. In 1888, Constables last surviving daughter gave the Victoria and Albert Museum in London his remaining studio contents, making it the principal collection of the artists work. This lecture was presented in conjunction with the exhibition Constable: Oil Sketches from the Victoria and Albert Museum, on view at the Frist Center from June 22 through September 30, 2012. © The Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, Tennessee, USA fristcenter.org/ https://facebook/fristcenter #johnconstable #markevans #thefristcenterforthevisualarts
