SIMPLICITY IN PAINTING.

The article focuses on the simplification of form and color in landscape painting. It states that simplification is an understatement of details instead of an overstatement of them. Simplification, in the view of painter who thinks of art as a matter of harmony and arrangement, is a process of removing meaningless detail and putting the disparate elements of subject matter into orderly form. The extraordinary and distinctive simplicity in the painting of Rembrandt van Rijn is also mentioned.
