Gezicht op Pointe du Raz 1901

This photograph titled "Gezicht op Pointe du Raz" was made by Delizy. The rocks jutting out from the sea create a moody scene. The cool tones really set the tone, it's almost as if the artist has found a way to show us what it feels like to be alone with the elements. Look closely, and you will notice the way the photographer captures the surface of the water, that looks like it's moving and churning. You can almost feel the spray of the waves on your face. The different textures here - the rough stone against the smooth water - make this image feel so tactile and real. The picture looks a little like a painting by Courbet, or one of those other 19th century landscape artists. Remember, with art, it's not about getting one single answer, but about opening up different ways of seeing.
