Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot
Landscape with a boat

x 55 cm
I think, Corot is an artist
who can make a painting breathe from air and atmosphere, everything is present.
There are these little dots, that seem to have an own logic, they are drifting
over the landscapes with a certain spatial distance to them, but they are
nevertheless embedded in the hazy light.
It is really a miracle how
he manages to let the material do what it does with this strong sensitivity for
colors. What attracted me at once when I saw one of his paintings, is the fleetingness of the moment - often wind blows in his works - and
his certain intuition for rhythm when he sets the dots over the landscape.
