Elements Explored By Famous Landscape Painters

By Anita Ortega


Famous artists all tend to work with space in the way that suits them best. They each have a technique that makes their work easy to identify. Some rely heavily on their own interpretations when they are portraying distance and end up with a bit of abstraction in their work. Kiefer, Monet and Turner painted beautiful, romantic images that celebrated life and also commented on the mistakes that people have made.

Artists who work on pieces such as these always try to identify what makes a scene interesting and focus on that in their work. People all around the world like to view the art of famous landscape painters. In this way, people may continue to enjoy beautiful scenery while they are indoors. Many of the great pieces that were created many years ago allow us to experience scenes as they were several years ago.

A painter may utilize a composition like this as a means of communicating with color. In European art, more emphasis is placed on exploring the beauty of all sorts of tints. Asian art traditionally played around with tones of the same color, when it came to images of mountains, rivers and the countryside in general.

Color also has an influence on how we perceive the nature of the elements in a painting. People are automatically drawn to any object that is painted in a bright color. Artists can give prominence to one object and influence how viewers think of trees or buildings in a composition.

Just the presence or absence of man made structures can tell you a lot about the age of a painting. In lots of contemporary work, there is more evidence of the joining of humankind with nature. You tend to see more fences, bridges, roads and other structures that were made by human hands. In the paintings of the old masters, you see less of this.

Landscape painters usually have a reputation for exploring the beauty of rivers and trees and not one for engaging in political discussions. However, these artists do make statements about the situations around them through their work. By juxtaposing certain objects or even choosing to focus on certain landscapes, they can say a lot about the crimes that have been committed by a nation, or celebrate spiritual values of a country.

Some of the popular Chinese and Japanese artists used various techniques to bring mountains closer to the viewer. By using details on these faraway objects, they focused more attention on them. Wyeth is also well known for using lots of details in his work and that has made his paintings more remarkable. Over time, he spent less time on color and worked to emphasize details in glass or blades of grass.

Beautiful landscape paintings allows us to reflect of many things. Artists such as Pippin did not focus only on landscapes but their work in this area is still outstanding. People may enjoy more of what they offer by viewing their work in museums and galleries worldwide.
