WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Wednesday, Aug. 27, at 1 p.m., the Clark Art Institute will present a close look at the work of British artist J.M.W. Turner. 
 
Timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Turner's birth, this presentation concludes the summer's series of free curatorial talks highlighting rarely exhibited prints, drawings, and photographs from the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper's unique collection. This event takes place in the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release: 
 
J.M.W. Turner (1775–1851) is beloved for his incomparable landscape watercolors. In this talk, Anne Leonard, Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, showcases a career-spanning selection of Turner's works on paper, from early topographical views to the lushly abstract landscapes of his later years.
