‘Slave Ship’ by J.M.W. Turner - SCADclass Ep.106

Through the canvas of Great Britain’s most prolific fine artist, we experience the horror of a high seas tragedy and a clarion call for global abolition in the 19th century. Join SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace and SCAD professor of art history Lindsay Alberts, Ph.D., as the pair uncover the life and enduring impact of J.M.W. Turner, through his seminal work “Slave Ship.”

Through SCADclass, the preeminent faculty of the Savannah College of Art and Design share their passion and knowledge with the world of curious creators. Conversations are moderated by SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace inside the historic Lucas Theatre for the Arts in downtown Savannah, Ga.
