Elements Within The Artwork Of Famous Landscape Painters

By Anita Ortega


Famous artists all across the world each have their own way of using space. Some like to interpret distance in a way that suits their needs and this results in a bit of abstraction in their work. These factors lead to the development of styles that are easy to identify. Turner, Monet and Kiefer all used such techniques to create lovely paintings that both embraced romantic ideals and criticized human weaknesses.

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 influences the way that different elements in a painting are perceived in therms of their nature. When an area is painted in a bright shade, it automatically gives it more prominence and in this way, artists can influence the way we think about trees, buildings or bodies of water and their purpose 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 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 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.
