This was painted in the early nineteenth century. It is very abstract isn't it?
William Turner, The Breaking Wave, circa 1832, Gouache and watercolour on paper
What we have is the barest representation of sea and sky.
William Turner, Long Ship's Lighthouse, Land's End, 1834 - 1835, Watercolor and bodycolor
You look at that image and think movement, process or becoming and multiplicity

Also great power. How did Turner represent the potential energy in those waves so convincingly?
Also re. Miller's Crossing post: don't worry, that's just the Coen brothers - too complex to get it all in one viewing, but that's what makes them such good value. I recommend the Hudsucker Proxy if you haven't seen that one yet.
