The Mediterranean Cypress (<i>Cupressus sempervirens</i>,<b> </b>also known as Italian cypress,<sup> </sup>Tuscan cypress, Persian cypress, or pencil pine), has often served as a strong vertical element, and a dark contrast, in European landscape painting, where it evokes an introspective mood through its ancient association with mourning and death. Cypresses are commonly grown in cemeteries. In Islamic culture, its tendency to bow in the wind made it a symbol of surrendering to the Divine. Cypresses can attain great ages - there is a sempervirens in Iran that is estimated to be 4000 years old.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's taken me a while to warm to the work of the Swiss artist, Felix Vallotton, and I still have reservations about much of his work. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's certainly something odd about his paintings that takes a bit of getting used to. The eccentric colours are often unpleasantly dissonant, and the compositions can be, for me, somehow dissatisfying. The strange light effects he captures can produce a sense of unease, and there is a restlessness in his scenes. He loved to paint the sudden violence of the wind, for example. But, in common with the Nabis, there is often an interesting mythological narrative element to his landscapes (see 'Pentheus' below), and always a unique vision.<br />
<br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span">Vallotton's landscapes are painted more from within - perhaps even from the world of dreams - than from the world outside. They are mostly </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Guardian Text Egyptian Web', Georgia, serif; line-height: 24px;">paysages composés,</span><span class="Apple-style-span"> landscapes patched together from elements that probably derive from plein air sketches. As a result there is a paper cut-out feel, which is not always well integrated compositionally. This is one potential disadvantage of that method of painting landscapes, though many artists have mastered it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his late landscapes (after 1920) he returned to a more harmonious and refined style. I particularly love those in which he celebrates a certain green - the vivid green of new grass after rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vallotton painted in various genres besides landscape. He moved to France, and became associated with the Nabis. Despite being an established figure in the Parisian art scene of his day, Vallotton is not as well known today as similarly talented artists of his generation, mainly because most of his work is held in private collections, and rarely seen in public galleries.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Austrians seem to have a thing for squares. Gustav Klimt used the square format almost exclusively, and the Czech/Austrian modernist architect Adolf Loos popularised the use of square windows in his facades.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These square paintings are by Carl Moll, another Austrian. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moll successfully incorporated into his work Impressionist techniques of colour and brushwork, and the compositional daring of Modernism, while still preserving 19th century accuracy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite its quality, Moll's work has been pushed to the side somewhat (I only discovered it fairly recently). A founding member of the Vienna Secession, he exhibited with Klimt, and was considered his equal. Both artists broke away from the Secession in 1905.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps the main reason for art history's side-lining of Moll was his enthusiasm for the Nazi Party. It was very disappointing to read about this in his biographical data. There were some Jewish connections in his family, and it's possible that he wanted to be seen as a Nazi supporter as a means of camouflaging himself and his family. Moll's attitudes were conflicted, he was on very cordial terms with his Jewish son-in-law Gustav Mahler, but like most Austrians of his time and class he was anti-semitic. The fact that he committed suicide as the Russians marched on Vienna in 1945, unfortunately suggests that he was loyal to the Third Reich to the bitter end.</div>

Recently I made the 3-4 hour car trip from Sydney to Canberra to see the <i>Turner from the Tate</i> exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had seen many of the works years ago at the Tate Gallery in London (which has the best collection of his much dispersed work), but an opportunity to see them in the flesh again was too good to pass up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851) was one of Britain’s most original and inventive artists, a key figure of Romanticism, who influenced the Impressionists and even the Abstract Expressionists.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The exhibition includes several immense landscapes full of his ethereal brushstrokes and fascinating detail. These seem to glow as with an inner light, and are magnificently framed in monumental gilded mouldings. There are also many gem-like little watercolours to see.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A highlight of his later career is <i>Venice, the Bridge of Sighs</i>, 1840 (top and detail) in which he uses the oil technique of glazing over impasto. This technique gives the illusion of fine detail, without the need for laborious brushwork. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The toxicity of real Lead White paint meant that it has been replaced by other pigments such as Titanium White. It's not easy to obtain these days, but some manufacturers of professional grade oil paints still make it - for a hefty price. Lead White it is particularly suited to the creation of fine impasto effects due to its ropey consistency, which can be manipulated into delicate peaks and cake-decoration-like swirls. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lead paint is fairly safe as long as the pigment is bound in the oil medium and not in a powder form, where it can be inhaled. You would not want to lick your brushes, as some artists I know have a habit of doing. I wouldn't recommend getting it on your skin either.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the impasto has dried, a thin glaze of a contrasting grey or ochre is washed over it. The glaze collects in the depressions of the impasto, giving the impression of detail from a distance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <i>Bridge of Sighs</i>, Turner uses impasto only to pick out foci of interest, such as architectural details on the Doge's Palace. It looks as though he's used both an ochre yellow and a purplish grey glaze. Purple and yellow are complementary colours, so the effect, especially from a distance, is a kind of vibrating iridescence, later used by Monet to great effect to recreate sunlit walls.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
These works by Constant Troyon (top) and George Inness, make use of the golden light of dusk to suffuse the scenes with a sense of mystery. Warm golden hues - yellows sometimes with a touch of orange and red - are the perfect foil for dark grey-green foliage, creating a mood of soothing harmony.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The American landscape painter George Inness was so influential that he is often called "the father of American landscape painting". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his mature period, Inness discovered the spiritual writings of the Swedish mystic, Emanuel Swedenborg. The late paintings are poetic and mystical, with landscape views that are more intimate and personal, and a handling of shapes that is more abstract and nebulous than the earlier, more descriptive paintings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a published interview, Inness maintained that "The true use of art is, first, to cultivate the artist's own spiritual nature." His abiding interest in spiritual and emotional considerations did not preclude Inness from undertaking a scientific study of color, nor a mathematical, structural approach to composition: "The poetic quality is not obtained by eschewing any truths of fact or of Nature...Poetry is the vision of reality."</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">-Wikipedia</span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The glowing golden skies in these works would probably have been created by applying transparent glazes of a warm yellow over a white underpainting.<br />

It's possible that Inness was influenced by seeing the gold leaf backgrounds of Japanese folding screens (Byōbu), or it may have just been the symbolic association gold has with the Eternal.</div>

The English painter John Nash is perhaps best known for his work as a war artist. His depictions of the horrors of WW1 had a great impact.<br />
These landscapes show a deep love and understanding of nature, and even though he was largely untrained, and the works have a naive quality, they are also often executed with a fine sense of craftsmanship. He was also a print-maker.<br />
He was a lover of Dora Carrington (bottom painting), and a major influence on her work.<br />

Best known for his iconic photographs, Edward Steichen also experimented with landscape painting. He destroyed many of his canvases, and these tonalist nocturnes are are some of the surviving works.<br />
Steichen used delicate washes of thinned oil colour, one over another, to create an opalescent effect and a mood of poetic reverie reminiscent of Whistler and George Innes.<br />
This effect does not come across well in reproductions.<br />
Steichen was born in Luxembourg and immigrated to the US as an infant in 1881. He died in 1973 at the ripe old age of 93.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a long period during which his work was neglected and misunderstood (it was even associated with Nazism at one stage) Caspar Friedrich is now appreciated as a major figure in landscape painting, and perhaps the most important German painter of the Romantic period. His landscapes are unique, not only because they draw from a deep contemplation of Nature but because they reflect an inner world of eternal values.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Friedrich wrote a collection of aphorisms communicating his insights into painting. Here are some of them:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Close your bodily eye, that you may see your picture first with the eye of the spirit. Then bring to light what you have seen in the darkness, that its effect may work back, from without to within."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If he sees nothing within, then he should stop painting what is in front of him."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The painter should paint not only what he has in front of him, but also what he sees inside himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What the newer landscape artists see in a circle of a hundred degrees in Nature they press together unmercifully into an angle of vision of only forty-five degrees. And furthermore, what is in Nature separated by large spaces, is compressed into a cramped space and overfills and oversatiates the eye, creating an unfavorable and disquieting effect on the viewer."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The pure, frank sentiments we hold in our hearts are the only truthful sources of art. A painting which does not take its inspiration from the heart is nothing more than futile juggling. All authentic art is conceived at a sacred moment and nourished in a blessed hour; an inner impulse creates it, often without the artist being aware of it."<br />
<br />
The Russian writer Aleksandr Turgenev wrote of Friedrich in his diary:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">We visited Friedrich's atelier today. Listening to him and seeing his paintings was wonderful. He has some bonhomie which pleases people and his paintings reveal his romantic imagination. As a rule, he expresses in them one thought or feeling, though vaguely. You may meditate over his paintings but not have a clear understanding of them, for they are vague even in his soul. They are dreams or daydreams. He often employs very simple natural things, such as an ice block floating on sea waves, a few trees in a dale, window of his room (facing the beautiful Elbe), knight meditating over ruins or tombstones, monk staring into the distance or below his feet: all this captivates your soul, plunges you into dreams, all invokes your imagination, powerfully though vaguely.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">(6 August 1825)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cloud study is a great plein air exercise. It's something you can do anywhere, even in the city, or in a landscape where the scenery at ground level is totally uninspiring. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And because clouds are a moving target, it forces you to paint rapidly. Having a palette prepared with tonal strings of blues and greys would be a good idea, so that you don't waste time mixing. Adding a speck of yellow to the whites and violet to the grey shadows produces a nice complementary colour harmony.</div>

Views of clouds reflected in water are an interesting variation, popularised of course by Monet.</div>

Here's one by the Western Australian artist George Haynes.<br />

Last night I watched a TV documentary about the life and work of the Australian artist Jenny Sages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was inspiring to learn that someone, who only took up a serious art career in her early 50s, went on to win many major awards in her chosen areas of landscape and portraiture.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The catalyst for her decision to take up fine art, full time, was a painting expedition to a remote area of the Australian outback. She said it was an epiphany for her; the landscape totally changing her palette and approach to making art. Her conversion was sudden and complete.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've had a similar experience in central Australia - the colours there are indescribable opalescent pinks and greys. The desert regions, tend to lack the conventional elements of landscape subjects: trees, mountains and lakes, and lend themselves to abstraction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wanting to convey the complex textures of this ancient worn landscape, Sages took up the medium of encaustic (wax mixed with pigment). The melted wax is poured onto a board and spread over the surface, immediately creating interesting random textures and a kind of sculptural element. Sages then engraved the wax, gouging and scratching it with a variety of sharp implements, further adding to the texture. She then rubbed powdered pigment into the surface.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though I have never used it myself, I have read that encaustic is compatible with the oil medium, and a great way to introduce texture into a landscape painting, whether it be representational or abstract.</div>

For maximum visual impact landscape gardeners often make mass plantings of the same flower.<br />
This applies to paintings too.<br />

Constant Troyon, <i>Toques River, Normandy</i>.<br />
This work was greatly admired, in its day, for its evocation of light. It seems to have been a precursor of the Impressionist fascination with light and atmosphere.<br />

The last piece is by Cotman. A little gem of a painting.

Edgar Payne's book "Composition of Outdoor Painting" is often recommended by landscape artists. It may be out of print, but there are often copies to be found online. There are some for sale at<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Composition-Outdoor-Painting-Edgar-Alwin/dp/0944699022">www.amazon.com</a> (A new copy is very expensive).<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the book, Payne categorises various types of composition to help the reader design their paintings rather than simply capturing random snapshots of the landscape. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These compositional types are not intended to be fixed recipes. The artist should adapt them to use in original ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Compositional design does not imply that one is 'fudging' reality, it is simply a means of knowing what to look for when deciding what to paint.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">The study of clouds was my first interest within the genre of landscape painting and every few years I return to the subject with renewed enthusiasm. Often I am driven by dissatisfaction with my earlier efforts, always striving for a more refined palette and a lighter touch.</span><br />

<em>Third exaltation</em> is one of a series of five large cloud paintings from 2011. In this painting I have worked over a pale citrus yellow ground, concentrating on paring back tonality to its bare minimum and allowing colour temperature to define pictorial depth.</div>
