Elements Explored By 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 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 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 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 presence of man made objects can indicate how old a painting really is. As mankind has branched out more into nature with skyscrapers, bridges and railway lines, glimpses of these can be seen in paintings. The work of the old masters had less of these objects than we can see in contemporary art.

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 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.
