What Was Bricher's Landscape Paintings Entitled To The Romantic Movement?

Decent Essays
The landscape paintings were of the 18-19 centuries period. They belonged to the Romantic Movement. I have distinguished among them the Lake George painting from Alfred Thomson Bricher done on 1866. Bricher`s landscape capture the charms of the lake and beautiful water, the scenic hills and mountains. One half of the painting`s area was the blue sky and the lake where the sun rays fell perpendicular to it by reflected the mountains as into a mirror. The rest were big green trees and grasslands. The human presence was very minimized such as was hard to see if you were not concentrated.

    The Rococo and Neoclassical visual arts have come to define the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Each resulted from popular culture, influence, and reform, yet had an impact on one another. The Rococo painter exhibited whimsical scenes, sometimes scandalous, bathed in softer color shades while the neoclassical painter sought to give emphasis to tradition and nationalism. To elucidate these variances, this author will use famed “The Swing” by Jena-Honore Fragonard to contrast against the neoclassical painting “The Oath of the Horatii” by Jacques-Louis David – the most important painter of the reign of Louis XVI.…

    Joan Mitchell’s Chamonix 1962 painting appears to be a mess at first glance; paint violently pushed across canvas, no focal point and seemingly just no point to this piece. However, by giving a name to this abstract mess, we are able to begin to use our imagination to begin to see shapes take form to see that Mitchell has made an abstraction of a French mountain and it is our job as a viewer to use our minds to make a story of her canvas. Mitchell’s 200 by 217.2cm canvas overtakes your vision the second you step in front of it. As you stare at all the paint splattered in the middle of the painting, you begin to notice that it’s not just a mess of paint. Mitchell didn’t do a ‘Jackson Pollock’ and slap paint on the canvas.…

In one scene, the view is from a long distance of a village scene in a non-dramatic linear perspective.
