“Congratulations to the Art League for organizing an exhibition that keeps the long tradition of Landscape relevant in our modern world. Congratulations to all artists, from beginning artists to professionals, whose courage to create and share makes this exhibition a success.

The long tradition of Landscape has grown out of the concept of expressing man’s relationship with nature. It remains relevant today. Landscape painting is so much more than this brief statement. Fine art historians have spent careers on the subject. In the five hundred-year history of this genre, the vocabulary of a landscape has traditionally been a foreground, a middle ground, and a background. Today that has changed a bit with the democratization of image-making. Those with cameras in phones have sometimes joined the ranks of those with years of art school in creating images. This exhibition had submissions that follow the traditional established language of Landscape along with examples of new vision and media.

For me, jurying creates many dilemmas. Often a painting that I suspect is a fine work but is poorly photographed doesn’t present enough information for me to include it. Beginner and intermediate works sometimes have the freshest ideas which I want to include, however these artists need more time to mature before public display. There are also many fine artworks that deserve sharing that the lack of space regrettably won’t allow.

It’s been said that an artwork is not complete until it has an audience. This exhibition at the Art League serves both artists and connoisseurs and joins the two in celebration of art.”
