Question: Who is a famous landscape artist!?
Its homework, I have to get a landscape picture and write when it was made and possibly where it was made and how the artist has shown textures and how they represent surfaces!. The second bit will be easy but can you name a landscape artist for me please!.
Thanks :)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Thomas Cole (American, 1801-1848) is famous for founding the Hudson River School- who were a group of artists that painted the Hudson River Valley and the areas surrounding!. His paintings have amazing textural contrasts that translate into emotion!. His rough, focused and hard foregrounds blending away toward a misty, romantic and expansive world as the painting travels into the distance-- It's like a timeline-- the realistic, pointed present we live in, with all it's solid texture, shifting off into a future muted and uncertain, but comforting in its' darkness!. His paintings are full of turbulent movement and change!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The two most famous are John Constable and J!.M!.W!. Turner!.!.!. I prefer the latter but both are great examples, and there is always something to comment on in all of their paintings!.

Having said that, they are the most typical response a teacher tends to get to the "find a landscape artist" prompt!.!.!. but if you don't mind that other people may have found the same painting, then go for it- they are still great examples after all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jacob van Ruisdale did one called wheatfields!. Its got all the stuff you need tonal ranges, perspective!. I did it last year for my degree!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
