Cloudscapes

‘Landscape painting catches at those unexpected ideas and emotions that come, and so easily go, on days of no particular importance. It shows life not as a development but as a condition.’ (NEVE, 1990)

The Alps

‘Nature is stronger than the strongest man and there is no going against it. It finds its way into his imagination via all his senses; it becomes part of his spirit, and then, with great care and sensitivity, it may be brought back again by hand into the visible world and somehow recognized.’ (NEVE, 1990)

Norfolk

‘Landscape painting has always been about what is it like to be in the world and in a particular condition.’ (NEVE, 1990)

Lily Pond

‘The truth strikes you, when you see it, as unmistakable because it represents not just a way of seeing landscape but a state of mind.’ (NEVE, 1990)

Leicestershire

‘Many have said that they try not to interpose themselves too consciously between the landscape and their work, but let it flow through them unobstructed by their intellect.’ (NEVE, 1990)

Cambridgeshire

‘The land is the foundation on which everything stands; the ground of all action and all feeling. Pictures of it cannot be caged any more than the landscape itself can be caged. They have a life of their own, which is the life of the spirit.’ (NEVE, 1990)

Reflections

‘Paintings are about feelings not rationality; about imagination not common sense.’ (NEVE, 1990)
