Episode 2275 | Beauty Through the Viewer’s Eye

In this episode we are going to be looking at "the picturesque" and how a natural area can both have its own inherent beauty but also be artificially created or planned. we will examine the ways that artist and viewer create the ways that people see and interpret what they see when viewing nature; and how the "picturesque" has become one of the main ways that people understand "beauty" in landscape art. we will look at how by using examples of areas such as lake George and Nathaniel Willis’s works; how art can take an everyday view and make it a deliberate composition for visual enjoyment.
