Elements In The Work Of Famous Landscape Painters

By Anita Ortega


Famous artists all choose their own way of working with space. This results in a style that makes it easy to identify their paintings. With some, there is a degree of abstraction because they prefer to interpret space in new ways. Monet, Turner and Kiefer are just a few creative people who integrated romantic ideals and reflections on the weaknesses of human beings in their compositions.

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 use this type of composition as vehicle for color. European art placed more emphasis on using all the beautiful shades that are visible to human beings. In Asian art, painters were able to create great variations in tone with just a single shade. In any case, the viewer is invited to examine color and the effect it has on depth and distance.

Color also influences how viewers perceive the nature of a specific element in a painting. For example, if something is rendered in orange, we tend to attribute certain qualities to it. Bright shades draw attention and in this way, artists can lead viewers of their artwork to attach more prominence to specific objects such as trees or buildings.

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 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 established Chinese and Japanese masters used various techniques to bring mountains closer to the viewer. For example, they painted details into these large masses, instead of fading them as would be expected with greater distance. Wyeth also paid a lot of attention to detail and over time, he emphasized this more in his work and was less focused on color.

Beautiful landscape paintings allow you the chance to reflect on life and the environment. There are artists in this category who did not only focus on landscapes. They did many other types of work. However, their compositions in this genre will be appreciated by anyone who has an interest in it. Museums and galleries make it easier to see examples of their work.
