 | 20th Century English Landscape Pictures
The aim of this on-line exhibition is to show that the genre does not exist simply to provide pretty and inoffensive ‘art works’ with which to decorate a room. We have searched for works by artists who have internalised the landscape around them and shown us it through their eyes with their unique vision. They have studied clouds and their effect on every part of the landscape. Snow, rain, drizzle, dead grass and bare trees are subjects which fascinate them. Their work encourages us to search for elements of it whenever we look at a landscape so we can say,’It's a Friedenson sky!’; ‘That dead moorland landscape is pure Owen Bowen!’ or ‘There’s a Howey raincurtain!’ Their brush strokes are often so broad and so distinctive that we can enjoy with them the tactile pleasure of applying the paint. We can choose which aspects of the English landscape and the English weather and the wonderful English light we enjoy most, and wallow in it! If we buy a good Arthur Friedenson painting we can feel the breeze!
