Partly inspired by the sublime luminosity of the Californian sky and the desert landscape of the American Southwest, Turrell\u0026rsquo;s has been making light installations which recall both the traditions of landscape painting and landscape art as well as the more recent genres of monochrome abstraction and land art proper.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Turrell\u003c/strong\u003e wordt ge\u0026iuml;nspireerd door het licht in Los Angeles en het woestijnachtige hinterland.
