Cert PG The Drill Hall Lower Church Street, Chepstow NP16 5HJ Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new Exhibition on Screen film explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the current groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain has brought these two greats together in an acclaimed “5 star” exhibition running until April 12. Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. With the two painters vying for success through very different but equally bold approaches, the scene was set for a heady rivalry within the competitive world of landscape art. Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Not to be missed opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks & personal items and insights from leading experts... READ MORE>
