Скачать или смотреть Praise for Kurt Jackson's Sea

Kurt Jackson’s dedication to the sea as artistic subject is demonstrated in his evocative pieces, which perfectly encapsulate the chaotic nature of the sea, with its thunderous force, its energetic waves and its surprising stillness. ‘Kurt Jackson’s Sea’ is the first book dedicated to the artist’s seascapes, illustrating a lifetime of dedication to the natural world. This commitment, in Jackson's own words, has amounted to an ‘endless, life absorbing task’ and has turned Jackson into one of the foremost voices calling for action in the face of environmental emergency.

'We all know the simple delight of finding a remote and breezy spot and gazing out to sea. Kurt Jackson has made a career of it. His sea paintings distil the forms (horizon-line, headland, cloud), the textures (sun-reflecting water, sudden shower), the people (boats, beach-walkers, surfers) with such power and such precision that we are there with him, sharing that delight. His mastery of description goes beyond mere picture-making to the very essence of experience, a plea for reverence plainly made with paint: this is the earth we live on, this the sky, this the sea.’ – Philip Marsden
