Offering a fascinating and inspirational look at how great artists created their works, the PBS-aired Landscapes Through Time follows art historian and painter David Dunlop (Painting Landscapes with David Dunlop, VL-3/05) as he travels with his students to various locations in the United States and Europe to “set our easels up” in the same places that famed painters set up their own. Along the way, Dunlop shares historical, social, and technical context, while offering insights into the mechanics of shape, form and texture. Dunlop is a warm, encouraging, engaging, and knowledgeable instructor who interacts well with his students as they explore landscapes created by a number of iconic artists, including Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, J.M.W. Turner, and a handful of American impressionists and landscape artists. What impresses most here is not just Dunlop's considerable painting skills or vast knowledge of art history and techniques, but also his unbridled enthusiasm and love for the subject. Sure to inspire viewers to find their own creative sparks on canvas, this is highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (C. Block)
