A.     READING

NATURE IN ART

You can see paintings of nature everywhere in the world. Many artists paint and use nature in their work, but the results are very different. Art critics, Liz Searle-Barnes looks at five of them.

Stanislaw Witkiewicz

Stanislaw Witkiewicz was born in 1885 in Zakopane. He died in 1939 but you can see his paintings in art galleries in Poland. Many people like Witkiewicz’s paintings of people’s face, but I prefer his paintings of nature and landscapes. He painted this one in 1907. It shows the Hinczow Lakes in the Tatra mountains in southern Poland. There are the green fields and the white rocks and I like this painting because the water in the lake is so blue. I want to swim in it.

Ginger Riley Munduwalawala

In the past, Aboriginal people painted pictures of nature and animals on rocks. In parts of Australia, their Rock Art is 30,000 years old. Nowadays, modern aboriginal artists also paint nature. For example, this colourful painting by Ginger Riley Munduwalawala (1937 – 2002) shows hills, rivers, birds and kangaroos.

Ando Hiroshige

Japanese art is famous for landscape paintings. You can often see the sea and sky, and the mountains and trees. Ando Hiroshige worked in the nineteenth century and he’s one of Japan’s most famous artists. He printed and sold thousands of beautiful prints in his lifetime. However, he was poor when he died.

Damien Hirst

Damien Hirst is the richest artist in England. He is a painter, but he is more famous for art with different animals (living and dead) including a cow, a sheep and a shark. In one room of a gallery, he put lots of fruit and real butterflies live there. They fly round the heads of the visitors. For some people he is a genius, but other people disagree. Personally, I like his work, but I prefer his early paintings.

Vincent Van Gogh

Van Gogh made eleven paintings of sunflowers. They were also Van Gogh’s favourite paintings because he loved the colour yellow. I prefer his other paintings, but many people love his sunflower paintings. They are everywhere. You see them on cards, postcards and T-shirts. Van Gogh died with no money, but in 1987 someone bought the last sunflower painting for $49 million.
