Fist up we have Georges Seurat A Sunday on La grande Jatte and Chuck Closes' Bill. Both of the artists used a unique method in order to make the picture blend into itself. Seurat utilized many small dots of color which can be seen up close, giving it almost a fuzzy look. But when you move back you can see the whole picture and the dots seem to blend into each other showing a smooth transition between the colors. Close uses a very similar method. Instead of dots he uses a gridded pattern and fills in each grid with his own set of colors. Up close it looks like a child trying to fill in the squares, but as you stand back and look all the colors seem to blend together giving you an image that comes alive.
Next we have Albert Bierstadt, The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak and Huang Gongwang dwelling in the Fuchun. Both of these paintings represent two different groups living in two different landscapes. Bierstadt had incorporated a Native American tribe with the beautiful background of the rocky mountains. Showing the tribe going about its business in everyday life. Gongwang's painting is very similar as it depicts a mountainous region with buildings nestled at the base, although no people are in view both pictures imply a peaceful coexistence with nature.
