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. Constable represents the very best of pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion through landscape. Critics of the time compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.
Now, these two greats are reuniting at Tate Britain, and Exhibition on Screen has exclusive access to bring the groundbreaking exhibition and the remarkable stories behind the art to the big screen. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these astonishing artists side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.
A special Q&A session with the director, producer and key interviewees will follow the screening.
