Turner's \u003ci\u003eThe Evening Star\u003c\/i\u003e (c.1830). For Scully, this elegiac picture constitutes one of Turner's most profound paintings, leading to new departures in his own work. Using the motif of stripes or chequerboards, Scully evokes landscapes and architecture, horizons, fields, and coastlines, in which his contemplative forms become reminders of personal experiences and distinctive moments. Vast, bold panel paintings with richly textured surfaces are illustrated together with delicate works on paper: aquatints and luminous pastels. The accompanying text includes newly commissioned essays, and poetry by Vahni Capildeo and Kelly Grovier, while a unique photo essay by Irish novelist Eimear McBride highlights the sweeping impasto, strong brushstrokes, and vivid colors that distinguish Scully's painting. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by National Gallery Company\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Gallery, London\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (04\/13\/19-08\/11\/19)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Herrmann,Colin Wiggins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857096452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857096453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Daniel Herrmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965326606591,"sku":"9781857096453","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8091ef2a-8a0f-4905-9316-3d24540b2825.jpg?v=1767279804","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sea-star-daniel-herrmann-9781857096453","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
