Switzerland in Winter by John Lavery Art Print

Snow, and a single dark figure to measure it against. John Lavery painted in Switzerland in winter, and this is what he brought back.

White is the hardest thing in painting because it has almost no room to move. Lavery finds the blue in it, the grey in it and the faint warmth where the light lands, and then puts one black shape in the middle so the eye has somewhere to rest.

He spent his career being praised for elegance. The reason the elegance works is decisions like this one.
