>>3765402>this is how typing words without thinking and knowledge looks like>Van Gogh took the current trend of gothic realism and broke it down to emotional attachment and investment, and instead of dark somber tones to portray life as it was real, used bright, often caucophaunic color schemes to portray it as a dream, with brush strokes to match.He did nothing of sort. He read some Delacroix on colour theory, and emulated his peers and friends. Contrary to your claims about colours, he even worked in dark tones. Further, gothic realism never existed in painting. There was realism, but it was a marginal branch that had little to no effect on art movements. It was widely different to what you try to present it. Impressionism stemmed from the rift between forward thinking romanticism and tradition based neoclassicism. Both very colourful in their palettes.
>Ansel Adams took the current standard of landscape painting, broke it down into what it was, Landscapes and Focus, and used large format silver nitrate plates capable of capturing exquisite detail and miniscule aperture, F16 or tinier, to achieve massive depth of field.He found it worked, he found people liked it, and so developed his identity around it.
Using small apertures on landscape photographs was a standard and a requirement well before he went with it. He pioneered editing and retouching in darkroom, and he was an instrumental and influential writer on the subject. He had now qualms advising soft focus lenses, and he was shooting way past f16. A requirement, since f16 would give him quite shallow depths of field on most of his lenses and formats.
