Taikan Yokoyama was a prominent figure in modern Japanese painting (Nihonga), who helped revitalize the art form. He developed the mōrōtai “blurred style", using soft color washes without outlines. He later became known for masterful monochrome ink paintings, particularly depictions of Mount Fuji.

The painting is titled Mountain Village after Storm by the Japanese artist Yokoyama Taikan, created in 1912.
The artwork is a nihonga painting, a style of Japanese art that uses traditional techniques and materials. It depicts a serene and misty mountain landscape, with a small village nestled among pine trees on a hillside. The artist used soft gradients and blurred ink washes, a technique known as Mōrōtai, to create a dreamlike and atmospheric scene where forms emerge from a veil of fog. The overall mood of the painting is one of tranquility and quiet harmony, capturing the calm that follows a storm.

Léon Spilliaert is often considered a painter but he was primarily a draftsman. While a painter typically works with brushes and paint on canvas or plaster, Spilliaert employed other techniques. He used ink, pastel, watercolor, gouache and pencil, and worked almost exclusively on paper or cardboard.

The painting is titled Trees by the Belgian Symbolist artist Léon Spilliaert.
The artwork depicts a tranquil forest scene, with several tall, slender tree trunks dominating the foreground. The trees, rendered with a meticulous, textured detail, stand on a grassy forest floor. In the middle ground, a smaller, bushy tree with bare branches is visible, framed by the larger trunks. The background consists of a hazy, light-colored sky, creating a sense of depth and a tranquil, contemplative atmosphere.

'Through the Windscreen.' (1929) Gertrude Hermes was a printmaker and sculptor, who was one of the leading figures in the revival of wood engraving in the early 20thC. This work shows the night-time view of a tree-lined road lit up by the headlights of a car.

and 1930s, the figures in Martin Lewis' work initiate the emotion, though they’re no more individual and personal than the buildings; the story lives in the moment of the scene. He was a key mentor to the young Edward Hopper.

Ever since he made his debut in the mid-60s, artist, activist, critic and theorist Piero Gilardi has been at the crossroads of many international avantgarde artistic movements. His research and activity have always focused on a contemporary understanding of the relationship between man and nature.
