This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Imagination in Landscape Painting Landscape-painters, like other men, may be endowed with the imaginative faculties in the most various degrees and in quite different orders. We shall have to discriminate between some, at least, of these in the course of the fol lowing chapters. For the present we must content ourselves with the simple assertion, to be maintained subsequently by proofs, that there is nothing peculiar in the imagination of a landscape-painter, except this, that it is occu pied with objects and phenomena that interest him more peculiarly than others. Not that other people are necessarily without interest in these objects and phenomena, for if they were so, the productions of the landscape-painter would have no sale, and he could never win reputation. Thousands of passages in litera ture give evidence of a landscape-painter's tastes, and many seem to prove that the writer possessed exactly the kind of imagination which we are in the habit of attributing to painters. There is abundant evidence, too, of the presence of taste and imagination exercised with reference to landscape, in people who have no artistic training Whatever, and who do not express themselves in literature. We know this by their evident delight in romantic natural. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Masters of Landscape Painting It will be seen from the title of this book that it does not claim to be a complete history of landscape painting. The length of such a history would considerably exceed the proportions of this volume, but I have nevertheless endeavoured to give some idea of the order in which the different masters appeared, and of the relative importance of each. Having only to speak here of those who excelled, I have tried to show, in some sort of sequence, whence these artists came, the special merit of each, and his influence on the development of art. This chronological order was imposed by the subject itself. It is also helpful for the explanation of certain facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Painting and Modern Dutch Artists The same scene might be painted by Ruys dael and Hobbema, by Constable and Turner, by Daubigny and Rousseau, and each pic ture would take on the spirit of the individual artist, and give the observer very different ideas of identical views. For if it is not the actual scene before him that is painted, but his idea of it, it is evident that the personality of the artist counts for a very great deal in pictures; and so it is the subjective view of art that is the all-important one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Painting It is to be regretted that the art of color printing has not yet reached a stage of development where it can be trusted with the reproduction of a mas terpiece of landscape, which often de pends for its beauty on color-tones and color-transitions of extreme delicacy. In the present volume it has been judged best to confine the reproduc tions to simple half-tones in black and white to give no color rather than color which is false and misleading; and the illustrations here included are therefore presented, not as adequate representations of the works them selves, but as hints and suggestions only of the qualities which give to those works their distinction and their beauty.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape in Art Before Claude and Salvator Several years ago, when engaged upon the work entitled Cadore, or Titian's Country, I had occasion to examine the landscape introduced more or less as background in the works of several Italian masters of the sixteenth century. My object was to ascertain how far the strange forms of the Dolomite mountains, constantly to be recognised in Titian's landscape, could be identified in that of contemporary painters. During this investigation I was Struck with the amount of landscape beauty which passed unnoticed amidst the imposing claims of great sacred subjects, or those of mythologic legend; I felt, too, that in these neglected corners of canvases, if the study of them were sufficiently wide and thorough, might be traced the rise and early progress of landscape-painting. Some years had passed when it was proposed to me to write something like a history of this delightful art. It was a task too large to undertake, but the suggestion drew my thoughts again to the germs of landscape spread through all mediaeval art. The more I looked into the subject, the more interesting it became, and it had also the fascination of a region hitherto unexplored, and retreating into a dim unknown.

Download or read book Masters of English Landscape Painting written by Charles Holme Laurence Binyo Collection and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of English Landscape Painting: J. S, Cotman, David Cox, Peter De Wint The few oil paintings then which Cotman was able to produce, with little leisure and practically no commissions - nor did he work at oils except during certain portions of his career - are swamped for the public, in the far greater mass of work attributed to him on little or no grounds; and, strangely enough, it is not usually because of likeness to his style that a picture is dubbed with his name, for in 1 many cases there is no hint of likeness, but Simply because it is striking and the authorship uncertain. Any forcible sea-piece has a chance of getting christened his in time. I With the drawings which he produced in infinitely greater number the case is different, though the result is much the same. As in life he was forced to be a drawing-master, SO after death it is the product of his drudgery, not of his delight, which is usually (made to represent him. During the latter part of his life he pro duced many drawings which, with all their accomplishment, are hardly worthy of him. Yet it is these which one usually sees exhibited, at least in London. Numbers of his earlier and finer drawings have, I imagine, perished through long service as copies for his pupils. But there is happily another side to this picture. If people in general have been for the most part far too careless in giving Cotman's name to pictures, still there have been one or two art lovers and collectors who have always valued him at his proper worth, who have been jealous of his honour, and studious of his fame. Foremost among these is Mr. James Reeve of Norwich, who has devoted his life to the study of the Norwich painters, and more especially to the study of Cotman. A friend of Cotman's son, brought up In the traditions of the school, he has spared no pains in sifting and establishing the information which he has had peculiar opportunities for acquiring. His collection of Cotman drawings, formed with scrupulous choice, is the best material extant for studying that artist; it represents him both in colour and in black and white at every period of his career. Mr. Reeve is the acknow ledged authority on the Norwich painters; and if he errs, it is on the side of caution in accepting work as genuine; but those who have given any study to this school must confess that with all its productions, and especially those ascribed to its two chief masters, caution can hardly be excessive. The bulk of Mr. Reeve's collection is now the property of the (nation, and in the British Museum. The greater part of our illus trations are drawn from this source.

This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Century of American Landscape Painting, 1800 to 1900: January 19 to February 25, 1938 Arace busy taming the wilderness, wresting a living from the sea, and building a new nation, had little time or surplus wealth for more than the bare necessities of life. The only art for which there was any demand in colonial America was portraiture. The provincial aristocrat had no desire for the higher forms of art, but he wanted himself and his family recorded for posterity. In the words of Benj amin Robert Hayden, disillusioned English exponent of the grand style: Portraiture is always independent of art and has little or nothing to do with it. It is one of the staple manufactures of the Empire. Wherever the British s'ettle, wherever they colonize, they carry, and will always carry, trial by jury, horse racing and portrait painting. Least of all was there any demand for landscape, a quite non-utilitarian form of art, which tells no story, illustrates no historical event, points no moral. The motivation of landscape is as impractical as that of lyric poetry or music - the expression of the artist's vision of nature and the emotions which it arouses in him. This love of nature is the product of an old and settled civilization, not a pioneer one. It had little place in the hard-headed America of colonial days.

Download or read book Landscapes in Oil written by Ken Salaz and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscapes in Oil is the first-ever comprehensive guide to classical landscape painting reinterpreted for the twenty-first century. Drawing from the tradition established by American painters of the Hudson River School--artists like Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, and George Inness--author and painter Ken Salaz reveals great masters' philosophy and methods, updating their approaches for the contemporary landscape painter. Beginning painters are given the basic tools and step-by-step demonstrations, intermediate painters are challenged with unpublished techniques that allow them to break through to the next level, and advanced painters learn to apply their skills under unified theories. Landscapes in Oil devotes a chapter to each of the fundamental elements of landscape painting--drawing, value, color, composition, and light quality--and offers critical advice on selecting tools and materials, choosing colors, and structuring your palette for best results. Emphasizing the necessity of plein air drawing and painting, Salaz demonstrates how to translate small, quick studies made outdoors into full-scale studio paintings. He provides detailed step-by-step breakdowns of the creation of four of his own paintings, focusing not only on application but also on the ideas that underpin every decision a landscape painter must make. The scores of landscape masterworks, past and present, that illustrate this book have been carefully chosen for their aesthetic power and because each embodies a specific aspect of the landscape painter's craft. For Salaz, landscape painting is a noble pursuit, and the goal of the landscape artist is not to paint "pretty pictures" but to create compelling images that express human beings' profound connection to nature in all its diversity and grandeur. At a time when classical landscape is enjoying a renaissance in art schools, ateliers, and galleries across North America, this book is an essential resource for beginning and experienced painters alike.
