Hind begins with 1824, when Constable’s work caused a stir at the Paris Salon, then tells the life of the painter of Suffolk and the Stour. He looks at the oil sketches and the great pictures, from The Hay Wain era to The Valley Farm, and quotes Constable’s own blunt opinions on light and old dirty canvases.
