The British Landscape 1920-1950

Product Information

His use of watercolour to convey imaginative landscapes is juxtaposed by his ability to weave intricate yet turbulent marine paintings. His work – especially later work – forms the foundation that many artists have followed. So it was through emulation rather than a burgeoning of native spirit that what another poet, William Cowper, described as "Italian light on English walls" came to be painted. When it did, it appeared in several varieties. The birth of British landscape painting was heralded by an interest in aesthetic theory too. In 1757 Edmund Burke published A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, which, in turn, towards the end of the century, led to the theory of the picturesque championed by William Gilpin. For landscape artists, the sublime was essentially the evocation of awe and terror, the beautiful meant soft and aesthetically pleasing, while the picturesque – literally "in the manner of a picture" – was defined as irregular, ragged and asymmetrical. see Wybe Kuitert "Japanese Robes, Sharawadgi, and the landscape discourse of Sir William Temple and Constantijn Huygens" Garden History, 41, 2: (2013) p.172

Trey Ratcliff is a famous photographer based in America who has been almost everywhere. With so many social media followers, it is no surprise that many people see him as influential. Britain contains no massively spectacular geographic features, such as the Alps or the Grand Canyon; it is all presented on a relatively modest scale. The great beasts that used to live on the island either gave up, or were hunted to extinction years ago. Apart from the odd snake (and, in my experience, cows), there are few dangerous animals. The closest place to wilderness is the Scottish Highlands – or possibly the Welsh mountains. These parts of Britain, together with the English Lake District, the Pennines and other upland areas such as Dartmoor, can still be hazardous, even in the 21st century, especially for inexperienced, ill-equipped, people. They offer an unpredictable kind of beauty, far from the softer, more tamed, lowlands. Francis, Mark; Reimann, Andreas (1999). The California landscape garden: ecology, culture, and design .

The underlying thread of all of her work is her unique artistic expression. This artistic expression is on perfect display in all her work, regardless of whether she’s painting an arctic landscape or a landscape closer to home Barbara Rae RA at the Royal Academy

From the humblest of beginnings – displaying his art in his father’s barbershop – Turner weaved a tail through art that saw him break through the romanticism era of his time. Romanticism artwork is precise and detailed. However, as Turner’s developed his style, his artwork began taking on a less defined approach, some suggest that this was partly due to his failing eyesight.

These scenes portray landscapes and how they appear when we idealize them in our heads. Where this exhibition seeks to differentiate itself is in looking at the role that prints played in popularising the genre and branding the painters. It also stresses how the taste for landscape was present before there were painters to satisfy it. Grand Tourists had brought home numerous works by the great practitioners of continental Europe Nicolas Poussin, his brother-in-law Gaspard Dughet, Salvator Rosa and Claude Lorrain. The poet James Thomson lauded their different styles – "What e'er Lorrain light-touched with softening hue, / Or savage Rosa dashed, or learned Poussin drew" – and their effect on British painters was profound. Constable, Turner and Gainsborough all studied Claude and his landscapes of the Roman campagna in particular; Constable, indeed, became so besotted that he once wrote to his wife: "I do not wonder at your being jealous of Claude – if anything could come between our love it is him." Turner, meanwhile, bequeathed numerous of his paintings to the nation on condition that two should be hung alongside a pair of Claudes in the National Gallery. There, he guides photography workshops around these unforgiving areas. You can tell he is familiar with the landscape. And this familiarity has captured the essence of the landscape perfectly.
