Artist’s Expression of Textures in Paintings

Van Gogh believed it was necessary to master the skill of drawing before you could master the skill of painting. It was also cheaper to buy supplies for drawing and easier to draw when out in the elements. In his drawings we see demonstrations of his use of hatching/cross hatching to achieve textural details, this line work is later apparent in his paintings.

Drapery is another important tool in suggesting texture in paintings. Here we will look at the work of Johannes Vermeer who worked in the 17th C and is known for his paintings of domestic scenes. High contrast between light and shadow (achieved with a camera obscura) combined with his use of expensive, luscious colour means that the drapery in his paintings is texturally rich and lifelike. Another example of drapery at work is in ‘Mars and Venus, Allegory of Peace’ Louis Jean Francois Lagrenee 1770. Here drapery is integral to the composition of the painting as well as adding a textural element, it frames the inner scene of Mars and Venus adding both layers and drama. Other uses of drapery within paintings can be to accentuate a body and to show the wealth of the subject.

Jumping forward through art history we come to rest at the Colour Field Movement, championed by critic Clement Greenberg. Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still and Barnett Newman are usually grouped as the first in this movement. These artists were searching for a style of abstraction which would could communicate on a bone level, transcending barriers and pushing the viewer into the sublime. The textures here are flat and arguably none existent on first inspection figure and ground have become one. On a deeper level however these works explore the texture of the colours, of the paint, and of the canvas (particularly notable in the staining technique used by Helen Frankenthaler).

More modern interactions between paint and canvas can be explored through the works of David Reed and Robert Janitz. Both artists look at the tension between paint and surface by removing it, applying a final layer in a single gesture that dances across a prepared surface. The textures here are fluid and one dimensional.
