Called "a roaring, wondrous whirlpool of a show" (The Guardian), Turner's
Modern World showcases the astonishing paintings of J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851).
A modern painter for a modern time, Turner
immortalized the inventions, events, politics and culture of his era in vivid
and dramatic compositions. See the remarkable events of the early 19th century-from
the proliferation of steam engines and whaling ships to the military and political
battles at home and abroad-unfold across more than 100 works that reveal Turner's
new and radical way of painting. Turner surpassed other artists by presenting
contemporary subjects in a revolutionary style-an accomplishment that established
him as one of the founders of modern art.

Amon Carter - Thomas Moran’s Mount Superior
Exhibition on Display: August 28 - December 12, 2021
Be the first to see a major new acquisition by 19th-century landscape painter
Thomas Moran! Would you believe that just out of view of this idyllic
landscape are railroads, mines and quarries, and a booming metropolis? In the
late 19th century, while urban development boomed and railroads expanded, the
tourism industry promoted the ease and comfort of traveling to the West by rail
alongside narratives of the “unspoiled” landscapes visitors would see on their
travels. Featuring a long-lost watercolor by the acclaimed landscape artist,
Thomas Moran's Mount Superior explores these divergent depictions of the
American landscape through photography, works on paper, and popular culture
ephemera from the period.
