The Lost Landscapes of England Anthony Amies’ paintings assert a
classical conception of painting. From the mid 1970s, the British
artis pursued a radical counter-concept to the art of his time with
a stylistically peculiar landscape painting. They are calm and
enigmatic pictures that do without any scandal. In large-scale
drawings and oil paintings, he plays with the “blot” technique:
Amies abstracts the landscapes to convey an idea rather than a
realistic image. The reduction to land and sea is a reflection on
England and the loss of its individual landscapes to the monotony
of industrial and urban proliferation and sprawling housing
estates. In this idiosyncrasy - the assertion of the genre of
landscape painting and in the painterly quality of the works as a
contribution to the assertion of painting in art - lies the
importance of this English painter.
