 The colours in this painting - the pink of the sky, with this pearly, pearly grey and then the sea painted in a colour that is so true, so factual, so actual, and yet not like sea at all.
The sense of being in that particular place with Turner is always very, very strong. Turner uses his art to go out and literally discover everything he possibly can about the world.
Turner abstracts. He abstracts way beyond American colour field painters into some other area of painting that is revolutionary, utterly innovative, absolutely sublime painting.
