Contrasting J.M.W. Turner’s watercolor paintings of mountains and storms with those of Petar Tale’s of like subjects makes instructive viewing.
J.M.W. Turner’s work anticipates important developments in 20C art. Tale’s work, often measuring 1 x 1.5 metres demonstrates that the art of watercolor is alive and kicking today.
The recent Hockney on Turner Watercolours, sponsored by B.P., at the Clore Gallery, Tate Britain aroused great interest – a good time to recall the watercolor landscapes of Petar Tale, the Montenegrin born Norwegian artist. Visit http://www.talemuseum.com
