Landscape

1978, oil on cardboard, 49x69 cm /// The style of painter Edgars Vinters (1919–2014) is characterised by a blend of realism and impressionism. A work of art represents nature motifs that are characteristic to the Latvian landscape painting tradition. The foreground of the composition is dedicated to a wide representation of water, while in the central part a separate group of birches is placed following by the forest silhouette in the background. The paint is applied in several layers thus giving to a representation extra volume. The brushwork pattern designed by small cropped strokes, which are mixed by elongated and wavy. Particularly pictorial designed the water surface, which reflects the surrounding environment. The coloration is created with nuanced shade transitions and equal colour intensity, thus creating a unified and homogeneous composition. In colour palette dominates purple, brown, and grey tones. /// The artist's signature and date are on the lower right side of the painting.
