The art pieces I have chosen can show you that landscape adds show much more to the picture. It opens the mind up for more creation and imagination. The are many stories people can create just by looking at the art works above. This is ultimately one of my favorite chapters because we have gotten to explore the mind a little bit with more attention and focus to everything going on with our own in depth anaylsis needed to truly understand the beauty of the art. I wish I could've put the picture I have hanging at home that my grandfather painted of a ship out at sea during a storm because the water adds for great landscape.
Q: For the artist and for the observer, what is the value or importance of creating space in a landscape?
A: The value and importance of creating space in a landscape is to let both the observer and artist use their imagination and memory to place figures in space. The space allows for a story to develop and unveil more than just one outcome. The potential of what is developing is greater when there is more space in the landscape for both the artist to work with and the observer to interpret and think about.
Q: What does a perspective system add to a painted landscape? How does a perspective system achieve the addition?
A: A perspective system depending on the specific type in general adds more detail and makes the painting stand out and different from any other because it’s not just a flat surface painting. You have a three-dimensional feel that has more elements because of all the potential space and landscape. The perspective systems achieve these additions through the use of space because ultimately it is the artist who decides how much landscape they want/need and through the use of lines as well. The orthogonals or the lines that indicate the top edge or bottom edge of the volume of an object as it moves away from the observer travel to the horizon line.
Q: Compare the visual dynamics, the elements that keep the viewer interested in looking at the work, between the painting by Matisse Joy of Life and the Lorenzetti painting Allegory of Good Government in the City.
A: The visual dynamics that keep the viewer interested in looking at the work in Joy of Life are the colors because the combination of them is unreal and it opens a new world from the start. The landscape goes way back and the clarity is lost when trying to fully understand the painting and story behind it. The loss of definition in the landscape as well as the space allows for many interpretations because there is so much to observe. In Allegory of Good Government in the City we can see that the colors are normal and there is so much more detail and definition to make it realistic and three-dimensional with the use of lines and linear perspective. There is so much going on an even in the background the beautiful architecture in the landscape with people on the rooftops as well. Right in the middle you have a path leading back into the town which I believe to be the most interesting part of the painting because it sets itself apart from everything else in space.
