Excerpt from Turner The strong attraction of personality - Ruskin Turner's chief expositor - The danger to the student of being carried away by his charm of style - Turner's desire to be a public teacher through the medium of Art - This idea illustrated by the frontispiece to the Liber Studiortim. The meaning of the little central picture - The explanation of its margin. The interest that always attaches to a dominating figure in the world of Art surrounds the life and work of Turner. His name, like the names of Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth, and Charlotte Bronte - to quote only a few from the numbers of the modern great - has the attraction of a direct appeal. None of these, not even the poets, are in the very foremost rank in their art: their names are not yet unchallenged as are those of the mighty in the classic and mediæval annals.
