From the mid 1970s, the British artis pursued a radical counter-concept to the art of his time with a stylistically peculiar landscape painting. They are calm and enigmatic pictures that do without any scandal. In large-scale drawings and oil paintings, he plays with the “blot” technique: Amies abstracts the landscapes to convey an idea rather than a realistic image. The reduction to land and sea is a reflection on England and the loss of its individual landscapes to the monotony of industrial and urban proliferation and sprawling housing estates. In this idiosyncrasy - the assertion of the genre of landscape painting and in the painterly quality of the works as a contribution to the assertion of painting in art - lies the importance of this English painter.","brand":"Hatje Cantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40526564884563,"sku":"","price":66.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783775754705_64a573b6-660a-4af2-bf04-e08a2789177d.jpg?v=1765137653","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/anthony-amies","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
