So the Horizon Line Vanishes': Landscape and Abstraction in England from the 1930s to the 1950s

Abstract

This paper explores the tension between abstraction and figuration in English landscape painting from the 1930s to the 1950s, a transitional period marked by opposition between these two semiotic systems. The tension between tradition and new departure runs through the paintings and texts by John Piper and Peter Lanyon.
