Abstract Landscape Artists
Within the history of abstract art you will find its origins rooted in the early half of the 20th century. However, it can be argued that the ability to render the landscape in pain-staking hyperrealism is no small feat and that therefore, most landscape art is abstract in some sense. Works such as Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise (1872) and Camille Pissarro's Orchards in Bloom, Louveciennes (1872) were some of the first Impressionist paintings to ever be displayed, with the former even leading to the reason why the 1870s movement was dubbed as such. The Impressionists shifted away from realism and used objects and places that were still recognizable to display their use of color and light, capturing a snapshot of the landscape. By the time Pablo Picasso depicts his work, Landscapes (1958), any attempt to depict “likeness" is abandoned and the simplicity of vagueness conveys a landscape created solely using shape and color. The freedom of foregoing the limits of the vista have no doubt inspired later abstract landscape artists, such as Franck Dupire whose works can be discovered on Artsper. Delve into the work of Clara Crespin who pays homage to nature in all of its forms – the liberty of an infinite restart that makes the viewer question what they see and travel to new worlds.
