FOREWORD
THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE
BY MAUREEN BLOOMFIELD, EDITOR,
THE ARTIST’S MAGAZINE
A still life is an exercise in design, as the artist arranges the elements; a
portrait registers an encounter, but it is planned. What underlies a
landscape, less subject to control, is a discovery; coming upon a vista,
the painter registers a moment—a quirk of light, a condition of weather,
wherein he or she experiences an epiphany. Rendering the shifting
conditions as they correspond with the artist’s own changing perceptions
is the task. Accordingly, landscape painters look both outside and
within. From the Hudson River School and the Luminists to Henry
Farney and Thomas Hart Benton; from Maurice Prendergast and Childe
Hassam to John Twachtman and April Gornick, American landscape
painters focus on a luminosity that intimates the spirit of a once new and
ever-evolving land. In a trajectory that would have been familiar to
Emerson, the mind that knows itself encounters nature and, in an
intuitive leap, moves beyond the self to the cosmos. Such is
transcendence. We see what’s visible and perceive what’s not. The artists
whose work comprises Art Journey America: Landscapes assert the
viability and vitality of this rich tradition.
SCOTT LLOYD ANDERSON
When he’s not painting, Scott Lloyd Anderson is busy driving his two
teenage daughters around and trying to get his golf swing in shape. He
also enjoys camping and canoeing in Minnesota’s North Woods.
Anderson is nationally recognized in the field of plein air landscapes. In
2008, he received local attention for his series of paintings created on
the site of the new I-35W bridge construction. In spring 2010 he won
best of show in the prestigious Salon International exhibition in San
Antonio, Texas. Anderson has also earned top prizes at plein air events
in Telluride, Colorado, San Luis Obispo, California, and Grand Marais,
Minnesota, and his work has been displayed at the Minnesota governor’s
residence. Anderson says, “For anyone looking to try plein air painting, I
advise them to have the right equipment and dress appropriately. Be
prepared. And be patient. It takes about a hundred starts of paintings to
get a feel for what you’re doing.”
