Using the frames and conceptual framework to look at some landscape paintings

• Through the 19th century, the genre of Landscape
  painting eventually changed in the hierarchy of
  genres. It was no longer regarded as trivial or
  not as worthwhile as History Painting.
  Influenced by photography and with scientific
  discoveries about colour amongst other factors,
  painters felt able to experiment more than
  previously.

Cezanne, Gardanne 1885-6

The development of photography in the first half
of 19th century increasingly influenced society
and affected the way artists wanted to produce
their works, and allowed for a change in
perspective, composition and position of horizon.
These changes in the way people viewed things
eventually led toabstract art .

Sculpture by the Sea

• What is it? A contemporary annual outdoor
  sculpture exhibition, held at Bondi Cottesloe
  (Perth) Aarhus (Denmark.)
• Why are we considering it now? Because it
  involves artists dealing with landscape. Not all
  the works respond to landscape some of them
  would be equally well exhibited in a gallery
  space, as they are not interacting with the
  landscape. Others, however, respond to the world
  about them. The postmodern frame is an useful
  choice of viewpoint to talk about many of these
  works.

Using the postmodern frame, what can we say about
the world of the artists?

For me looking, touching, material, place and
form are all inseparable from the resulting work.
It is difficult to say where one stops and
another begins. Place is found by walking,
direction determined by weather and season. I
take the opportunity each day offers if it is
snowing, I work in snow, at leaf-fall it will be
leaves a blown over tree becomes a source of
twigs and branches.
