The incoherence of summer rain
There is something fascinating about summer rain. That moment when the light is blocked by an obstacle and the sky is transformed into a palette of yellows and dark blues.?
Summer is suspended for a moment, caught in a contradiction.
Constable, like Turner, was a contradiction among many of his contemporaries.
Able to paint the most romantic of landscapes as well as "forgetting" academic principles for effect. A vision of impressionism and expressionism when no one had yet heard of it.
