Compiled and written by Graham Reynolds, Keeper of the Department of Prints, Drawings and Paintings at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the catalogue brings authoritative scholarly insight to Constable's revolutionary approach to depicting the English countryside. Reynolds chronicles Constable's career with precision and depth, illustrating how his direct observation of nature and atmospheric light transformed the conventions of landscape painting and influenced generations of artists, including the French Impressionists. Arranged for audiences in Auckland, Melbourne, and Sydney, this travelling exhibition of September 1973 to January 1974 represents a rare opportunity to examine the breadth and intimacy of Constable's draftsmanship and painterly vision. The catalogue stands as a significant art-historical document, as valuable today for scholars and collectors as it was for the exhibition's original audiences.
