The fashionables? They just want to know if a painting's hot. Whether it will gain.
Queen Victoria said of Turner, 'He is quite mad.' A cockney who spoke his mind, he did not fit into the norm of the artist. Society saw him as a misfit, shocking, controversial. He was a visionary, the father of modern painting. The play examines his relationship to three women in his life.
English painting is dead. It's dealers making fortunes out of sentimental dross. Cherubs. Dogs.
