Modern Painters
''Modern Painters'' (1843–1860) is a five-volume work by the Victorian art critic, John Ruskin, begun when he was 24 years old based on material collected in Switzerland in 1842. Ruskin argues that recent painters emerging from the tradition of the picturesque are superior in the art of landscape to the old masters. The book was primarily written as a defense of the later work of J. M. W. Turner. Ruskin used the book to argue that art should devote itself to the accurate documentation of nature. In Ruskin's view, Turner had developed from early detailed documentation of nature to a later more profound insight into natural forces and atmospheric effects. In this way, ''Modern Painters'' reflects "Landscape and Portrait-Painting" (1829) in ''The Yankee ''The Yankee'' (later retitled ''The Yankee and Boston Literary Gazette'') was one of the first cultural publications in the United States, founded and edited by John Neal (1793–1876), and published in Portland, Maine as a ...

Finnmark, Winter
''Finnmark, Winter'' (Norwegian: ''Finnmark, winter'') is a painting by Norwegian artist Anna-Eva Bergman in 1966. The picture was made with metal foil on canvas and has dimensions of 150 x 300 cm. The picture is part of the collection of the Fondation Hartung-Bergman in Antibes, France. Background Although Anna-Eva Bergman was Norwegian, she did most of her work in France, where she participated in numerous exhibitions until her death in 1987. Her principles in art grew from the line drawings she drew for books by herself and others. In her last forty years of production she opted for abstract paintings inspired by nature. Looking for new techniques, she used aluminum, silver and gold foil in her work. Beginning in the 1950s, after a visit to the north of Norway, she began to paint its landscapes. ''Finnmark'' was created with aluminum foil applied to the fabric; a technique that gives a special light to this painting.{{cite web , url = http://Fondationhartungbergman.fr ...
