Synopsis
Excerpt from Landscape and Figure, Painters of America
HE work of no American painter of landscape more certainly requires an intimate acquaint ance for its full enjoyment or more fully repays one for a painstaking study of its various manifestations than that of Homer Dodge Martin. Inness, who was unquestionably a greater master, in all the wide range of his product never but once or twice touches one so nearly. Wyant, who was more closely akin temperamentally, touches one Oftener though never so nearly nor so deeply. His was also a poetic in terpretation of nature notable for its refinement in the same sense as Martin's; his vision, however, was much more limited than either Martin's or Inness's and he was obviously incapable of developing the larger aspects of a theme as they did. Wyant and Martin were both poets in landscape; Wyant is lyrical, Martin epic in his product. One may prefer the one or the other, but of relative value.
