Elements In The Work Of 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 focus on this category generally try to bring out whatever makes a scene capture their attention. When they examine the beauty of creation, something stands out and they decide to try and put that on canvas. People all over the world usually look forward to seeing what these famous landscape painters have done. In this way, all of us may continue enjoying beautiful scenery while we are indoors. We can also see what places look like many 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 absence of man made conveniences makes it easy for you to tell how old a painting is. Humankind joins with nature in lots of contemporary work so you see more fences, railway lines and light posts in modern work. The artwork of old masters has less of these elements within them.

Landscape painters are occasionally thought of as people who merely create pictures that are pleasing diversion. However, they can easily make political statements and communicate strong messages in their work. Symbols may be assembled in ways that reflect the follies of a nation or the uselessness of some particular type of behavior. The spiritual values which are important to a nation may be celebrated by the inclusion of mountains or other signs.

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.
