Turner DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com J.M.W. Turner was more influential than any other British artist and WAS the most influential artist of his era working anywhere, according to the Kimbell Art Museum’s Deputy Director George Shackelford, who curated the exhibit Turner’s Modern World currently at the Kimbell.
Turner’s early works would have established him as one of Britain’s great painters. His later political work and then his final, more abstract works place him tops among British painters.
