More than any other British artist, Paul Nash revived the English landscape tradition in modern terms. In 'The Rye Marshes, East Sussex,' (1932) he brings his understanding of Cézanne on his search for a satisfying compositional design.

Painted in 1919, Santiago Rusiñol's picture depicts the estate of Sa Coma in Valdemosa on Mallorca’s east coast. Rusiñol developed a strand of modernism in Spain which translated into paintings of landscapes, pictures which varied from symbolist to more naturalistic works.

I love the daily entries, but your descriptions, including practitioner names, are getting cut off. The tags are probably better at the bottom of a post. Thanks for sharing great works.
