Echoes of Brilliance: Art’s Past Inspiring the Future
You may have noticed that THE GAZE has been featuring past artistic greats. The 250th anniversary celebrations of the visionary painter from London, JMW Turner, have shone the spotlight on his brilliance and the fearless brushwork that shocked audiences of the time.
