John Robert Cozens was a British draftsman and painter of romantic watercolour landscapes.
Cozens executed watercolors in curious atmospheric effects and illusions which had an influence on Thomas Girtin and J.M.W. Turner. Indeed, his work is full of poetry. There is a solemn grandeur in his Alpine views and a sense of vastness, a tender tranquility and a kind of mystery in most of his paintings, leaving parts in his pictures for the imagination of the spectator to dwell on and search into. John Constable described Cozens as «the greatest genius that ever touched landscape».
Amédée Ozenfant was a French painter and art theorist. He was a prominent figure in the development of the purist movement, which was characterised by the use of geometric shapes, bright colours and simplified forms and was conceived as a response to the chaos and disorder of modern society.
Amede Ozanfan wrote extensively about the principles of purism and the role of art in modern society. In his book The Foundations of Modern Art, co-written with Le Corbusier, Ozanfan argued that art should be based on rational principles and serve social purposes.
Ozanthan's work had a significant influence on the development of modern art, and his ideas continue to be studied and discussed by art historians and theorists.
