'We want no imitation'

"It is not the business of the artist to express what is obvious to every one," said Sir Alfred East (1849-1913). "If it were, he would prefer the actual fact to the painted one." 

Sir Alfred East (1849-1913), Opulent Autumn, 57½ x 87 in. (146 x 221 cm.)

East continues: "We want no imitation, even if it were done to the point of deception; but what we do look for is the strong, vivid and frank impression of a cultivated mind." 

East imagines Turner looking at a scene in nature and saying to himself: "'What does this convey to me, and what great phase of nature does this material serve to express?' What was useless for his purpose he deliberately ignored, and aggrandized the material which was to justify the purpose he had in view. So that nature to the painter, as well as to the builder, offers the material by which great things can be built; and we can read between the lines of the artist's work the exact mental attitude he held when he painted any particular scene."
