Landscape as Backdrop

According to some, the concept of landscape originated with the painters of
northern Europe and their use of light—a light that models objects and creates
successive planes that draw the eye into the distance. This program traces the
evolution of the landscape in art, from its function as a stylized setting to its
employment as a realistic part of a scene, and the technical challenges of
depicting a landscape’s constituent parts. Paintings, film clips, and photographs
show how visual devices such as gardens and estrades are used to separate
foreground and background and how the artistic tension is resolved between
landscapes and the humans that often inhabit them. (27 minutes)
