Notas do Editor
- I would like to introduce you two artists who loved to paint landscapes. They were both great masters of their time and now internationally known for their beautiful landscape art but their lives and careers were very different.
- Albert Bierstadt was German-American painter. He was best known for his luxurious, sweeping landscapes of American West. To get to the places he wanted to draw, Bierstadt had to travel west with explores. He was painting parts of our country that mots people had not seen. He was among the most energetic, hardworking, and internationally honored American artists of the 19th century
- Born in difficult circumstances in Solingen, Germany, he emigrated at age of two to America with his parents and his two brothers. The family settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where his father became established as a barrel maker. Show Germany and Massachusetts on the globe. He early developed a taste for art and made clever crayon sketches in his youth. When he was 21 years old, he began to paint in oils.
- This picture is an example of oil painting. It is oil on paper mounted on canvas.
- At the age of 23, Bierstadt returned to Germany to study in Dusseldorf, where he refined his technical abilities by painting Alpine landscapes. He studied painting with the members of the Dusseldorf School in Dusseldorf, Germany, from 1853 to 1857 He taught drawing and painting briefly before devoting himself to painting.
- This picture has so much detail that you feel you are there with the artist looking at the stream on mountains. Look at the colors on this picture. What do you think is the time of the year? (Fall?)
- Bierstadt returned to America when he was 27 year old. In 1859, he joined an overland survey expedition which allowed him to travel westward across the country. Along the route, he made a lot of photographs and sketches of the majestic mountain ranges and dramatic rock formations, which resulted in numerous finished paintings.
- I would like to show you this beautiful painting of Bierstadt “Surveyor’s Wagon in the Rockies.” Although it is a small sketch, this work is considered one of the talismanic paintings of the West. What do you think the travelers would feel when they saw these endless plains and mountain ranges of the west for the first time? It seems that the wagon, the horses, and the rider are suspended in space somewhere in the open-ended plains. The travelers move through a land without leaving a trace. It is impossible to measure how many miles the travelers traveled. Only by looking at a contour and color, we can guess how far they might need to go.
- Look at this wonderful pleasant park bordered by quickly rising mountains. It looks like that it is a beautiful place for a picnic or rest. Look at these towering cliffs make the two people and their horses appear tiny. Then the towering clouds make cliffs themselves seem small. Notice how Bierstadt painted the clouds, with light streaming down between huge thunderheads The light falls in patches on the landscape, lightning up some areas brightly and leaving other parts in shadow
- What time of the day it can be? (Morning?)
- Bierstadt was one of the founders of the Hudson River School of Painters, a school that romanticized the America landscape. Please, look how the dramatic use of light and shadow and attention to detail make this picture so realistic. The diagonal view of the buffalo and the clouds make their movement very powerful. The buffalo escapes from the terrific storm coming from the right. The tall trees with steep peaks stop the eye flow from continuing to the left and brings the viewer back to the central point of the lead buffalo, and the rainbow mists behind him. Questions: 1. Is there any action going on here? What is happening in the mountains in the right background? Do you think the painter could sit in a field and paint this whole picture before the storm reached him? 2. Which buffalo is most important? How do we know? (Largest, most detail, surrounded by light, placed forward in the center of the painting). This buffalo is called the “focal point”. Why didn’t the artist make the other buffalo the same size? (Wanted them to see farther away). 3. Does this painting look almost like a photograph? (Realism)
- … whose art was admired by some influenced masters of his time. Although his paintings are now among the most popular and valuable in British art, he was never financially successful and did not become a member of establishment until he was elected to the Royal Academy at the age of 52. He sold more paintings in France than in his native England.
- Born in Suffolk, he is known principally for his landscape paintings of Dedham Vale, the area surrounding his home – now known as “Constable Country” – the country he loved very much. “ I should paint my own places best,” he wrote to his friend John Fisher in 1821, “painting is but another word for feeling.”
- In his youth, Constable was making trips in the surrounding Suffolk countryside. The sketches that he made there became the subject of a large proportion of his art.
- This is another view of the city where he was born. You may probably could notice that Constable art has more green in them than Bierstadt’s. The country he was painting was different than what Bierstadt was painting.
- The Vale of Dedham, 1828, shows Dedham Church in the middle distance and Harwich in the far distance. The church is in the middle ground but the town is so far back that it is v-e-r-y difficult to see. Things in the distance are smaller the farther away they are from the viewer. That town is so very small because it is so very far away. Constable's dramatic landscape leads your eye across the Suffolk countryside, along the winding River Stour, to Dedham village and the estuary beyond. This view from Gun Hill looking towards Dedham church, near his father's watermill, was a favorite subject. The cloudy sky and details are, however, based on Constable's close observation of nature. He applied paint thickly with touches of white to enhance the effect of shimmering light. This painting prompted his election to the Royal Academy in 1829 Notice how color, light, and shade work very well on this picture.
- What time of the year (May be spring?) It is obvious morning. What is happening on this picture. (People are probably going to milk cows. What else?)
- What do you think about this picture? What transportation people were using in that time? Did they have cars and buses? Why is the wagon moving through the water? (May be there was flood and water came too close to the place they live)
- What is happening on this picture? It looks like for me it is a beautiful day may be a little windy. And two boys just got a fish. What do you most of meals was coming from at that time? People probably milk cows for milk and other dairy products, they were fishing to have fish for dinner, and worked all year to make harvest to make bread.
