Elements Within The Artwork 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 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 work with color a lot in this type of composition. Europeans tended to place a lot more emphasis on using color of all shades than their counterparts in Asian. Many famous eastern paintings rely on the differences in shade for a particular color to bring across depth. In any of these paintings, viewers can see a lot to capture their interest and lead them to think about the effect that tones have on them.

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 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 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 great Chinese and Japanese painters brought mountains close to the viewer and painted them in great detail, unlike others who would simply fade these land masses in order to give the viewer perspective. Wyeth is also known for paying great attention to detail and this is one of the elements that makes his work remarkable.

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.
