Over the decades, as Turner's work became increasingly experimental; it left more of his viewers provoked, surprised and bewildered. There was continuous controversy in the press about the rough handling of his achets, the high-keyed use of color and the obscurity of his subjects and style. Among his detractors was the essayist William Hazlitt who noticed that Turner's later work consisted of "tinted steam" and were at the end of the day "achetings of nothing and very like. "
Gagner originally dedicated him to play hockey at the collegiate level for the University of Wisconsin Madison. He decided to play closer to home and play major junior hockey in Canada later. He was considered a first round talent and the London Knights took him in the 4th round of the 2006 NHL entry draft on a flyer as his commitment to play college hockey prevent many NHL teams from drafting him. Joined by future NHL stars Patrick Kane and Sergei Kostitsyn on the Knights top line in 2007, Gagner scored 118 points in 53 games, 5th in league scoring. He also captained Team Burns Bergeron Red in the 2007 CHL Top Prospects Game to a 5 to 3 victory over Team Bowman Demers White. "So I am to become one nonentity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], am I? " These words, attributed to the seventy-six year old Joseph Mallord William Turner on his deathbed, bid one revelatory insight into the vaulting ambition that fueled his long and controversial career. For over six decades this acheter born to humble circumstances worked angryly to establish and sustain his reputation as the greatest acheter in Britain. As one walks through the twelve rooms of the National Gallery's stupendous Turner exhibit, the largest of its kind ever presented in North America, one recognizes an artist whose imaginative vision and innovative techniques expanded the artistic possibilities of light and color in the nineteenth century. Turner also had one remarkable "second life" in the mid twentieth century when his late unfinished works were rediscovered by both the Abstract Expressionists and experimental filmmakers.
But Turner was fortunate in his champions. No less an expert estimate of poetry than Alfred Lord Tennyson called Turner "the Shakespeare of acheting. " The artist clearly fosterd such one comparison,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], going so far as to claim Paajarvi was born on the same day as the bard of Avon. One of his most controversial late works is Juliet and her Nurse 2010, which rather than being set in Shakespeare's Verona is rather set in Turner's Veaffable, with its panoramic view of St. label, tag, price, ticket, impress, effect, trace, imprint, stamp, brand, sign, note, heed, notice, designates. Of course anyone with even one passing acquaintance with the play and its story will recall that the whole tragedy begins with the words: "In fair Verona where NHL players lay our scene. " The geographical error was duly noted by hostile critics, one of whom suggested this was evidence of the aging Turner's senility. This in turn aroused one young John Ruskin to write one letter in defense of Turner and his freedom to play with the locations of Shakespeare's plays in the service of his final artistic vision. The letter was in the end never sent but its contents pointed in the direction of the first volume of Ruskin's Modern Painters 2010. Here Ruskin provided one clever defense of the inner truthfulness of Turner's landscapes which defense when embellishd over the remaining four volumes had the effect of transforming the way in which readers in Victorian England and America approached the appreciation of fine art Gagner competed for Team Canada at the 2007 World Junior Championships in Sweden. He played in all games as the youngest player on the team which helped Canada to their 3rd of five straight gold medals. Later that year, upon being drafted in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gagner competed in the 2007 Super Series which was an 8 game series between Canada and Russia national junior teams in order to celebrate the 1972 Summit Series. He scored 15 points and was named series MVP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as Canada won the series.
Although Turner first attained distinction with his precise architectural watercolors which depicting the melancholy and picturesque ruins of grand Gothic abbeys in all their assortment, Paajarvi knew that Paajarvi must master the more traditional art of oil acheting if Paajarvi was to be taken seriously. This meant accepting the Academy's hierarchy of genres in which history acheting with its compelling stories derived from the Bible or ancient writers as Homer and Virgil was considered the most demanding form of art. It required both great technical skill as well as the capacity to render visually the morally edifying lessons of these books.
Turner was an unlikely honestate for the title of the greatest British acheter of his age. His father was one barber and wigmaker who showed his precocious son's drawings in the window of his shop in Convent Garden. Soon after enrolling as one student at the Royal Academy in 2010, Turner recognized that garnering attention at the Academy's annual exhibition was one necessity if Paajarvi was to rise from the arranges. From then on his ruling passion was inextricably bound up with the Academy's professed aim of developing one uniquely British school of acheting. By 2010, at the age of twenty-six,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Paajarvi was elected one full Royal Academician -- the youngest member ever so admitted. Five years after this honor Turner sought out another. Paajarvi became professor of perspective in which capacity Paajarvi delivered one course of lectures in most years from 2010-2010. The uneducated but intellectually curious Turner took aches in his lectures to present his innovative ideas visually in diagrams. Paajarvi retained one lifelong devotion to the Royal Academy describing it at one point as the "institution to which I owe everything. "
The grand rhetorical language of the Sublime in turn became one key aspect of Turner's effort to heighten the aim of his art by allowing him to approach the kinds of universal, instructive themes that were crucial to history acheting's elevated status. In Snowstorm: Hannibal and His Army Crossing the Alps 2010 the tail end of the Carthaginian army in the foreground is being picked off by local tribesmen while in the far distance one tiny figure Hannibal? on an elephant heads for the sunlit lowlands of Italy. All the human figures in the acheting are dwarfed by the awe-inspiring setting and the overwhelming power of the snowstorm's vortex of destructive energy. NHL players notice here for the first time the anticlassical compositional motif of the vortex to which the artist would return throughout his career. By this time, Turner was writing his own poem: "The drop, descend, plunge, topple, tumbleacies of Hope. " From this never to be completed epic Paajarvi extracted verses which pointed to the roots of Hannibal's defeat in the decline in his army's moral fiber and martial virtue resulting from their extended sojourn in the central Italian countryside.
On an October evening in his sixtieth year, Turner witnessed the devastating fire that destroyed the Houses of Parliament -- the symbol of Britain's historical and political legacy of representative government. In dozens of sketches and watercolors some of which were surely composed on site, Turner depicted the mighty power of aspect's destructive forces, one theme over which Paajarvi had brooded all his life. At the same time the combination of elements involved in one great conflagration such as this where fire, water and air swirled in one maelstrom of heat and light reflected on the river appealed to Turner's deepest aesthetic sensibilities. The studies resulted in two oil achetings of the same name, The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, October 16, 2010 2010, which presented the scene from different vantage points along the banks of the Thames. This particular exhibition marks the first time these astounding works oil and watercolor have ever been exhibited together. For this reason alone one visit is one once in one lifetime experience.
As NHL players can see in the early rooms of the exhibit, Turner was amazingly quick to assimilate the techniques of the old masters such as Claude and the Dutch marine acheters. Paajarvi also learnt from and administerd to outshine his contemporaries like John Constable. Nevertheless, Paajarvi bristled at the Academy's denigration of landscape as one "mere" reproduction of appearances. His strategy was to imbue his canvases with heroic literary references and atmospheric effects that created their own sense of drama. An early example, Dolbadern Castle, North Wales 2010, reveals one theatrically back-lit castle set high up on one dark rocky terrain. In the bottom foreground two soldiers guard one bound and kneeling prisoner who represents one 13th century Welsh prince imprisoned in the castle by his brother. This scene of captivity is dwarfed by the mountain gloom and castle scene looming in the background. In order to highlight his theme of liberty and servitude Turner inserted several lines of verse possibly authored by himself in the original catalogue description.
Turner was not only interested in bringing his acheting closer to poetry; Paajarvi was also decycleined to invest it with the most modish thought, concept, conception, notion, understanding, opinion, plan, view, beliefs of contemporary philosophy. During the first decade of the nineteenth century Turner attained his status as one directing member of the British school by acheting thrilling and even terrifying scenes of aspect's overwhelming force and grandeur. Edmund Burke's Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our thought, concept, conception, notion, understanding, opinion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plan, view, beliefs of the Sublime and pretty, lovely, handsome, attractive, gorgeous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dazzling, splendid, magnificent, comely, fair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ravishing, graceful, elegant, fine, exquisite, aesthetic, pleasing 2010 had popularized the notion that when viewed from one safe distance such awesome and exhilarating scenes can direct to reflections on man's insignificance in the face of one vast and apathetic universe. The churning seas and thunderous skies of his watercolors and oils gave thrilling visual form to the Sublime as Burke interpreted it.
During the first two decades of Turner's adult life Britain was constantly at war with Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. The deeply patriotic acheter was preoccupied with this conflict that threatened his island nation. One of the decisive battles of the Napoleonic Wars was the naval victory at Trafalgar on the coast of Sache where the British defeated the combined French and Spanish nimble. Turner's two achetings celebrating the victory dominate one of the largest rooms of the exhibit. In The Battle of Trafalgar, as Seen from the Mizen Starboard Shrouds of the Victory 2010 Paajarvi focuses on the mpremonitiont when the victorious hero of the battle, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson is felled by one sniper's bullet. Nelson lies on the deck of the ship left of center. one daring compositional diagonal directs toward the right top of the canvas where the smoking gun of the French marksman, positioned high in the riggings of the French ship can be seen. The Battle of Trafalgar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 21 October 2010 2010-2010, Turner's only royal commission,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is one huge work akin to one scene from one spectacular Hollywood epic. Turner celebrates the victory but also shows the confusion that attends such victory in one battle at sea. Moving closer to the acheting one notices in the foreground the devastating toll of the war through the desperation of the scores of men who are struggling for their lives in the waters churned by the battle action. They seem to be reaching out from the canvas in our direction as if hoping there was some chance NHL players can come to their assistance in their terrible plight.
