Research point - Movement in natural forms

The course asks us to look at the work of Vija Celmins . Kirsty O'Leary-Leeson broadens the idea again and leaves areas of the paper white. Henry Moore painted this dramatic scene in 1874 and this 1871 painting by John Brett captures the light in the water.  There are lots of examples in The Royal Society of Marine Artists website I went to the 2013 exhibition at the Mall Galleries and was very taken with a large dramatic seascape but unfortunately I didn't note the name of the artist. It's a good exhibition and well worth the visit even if you don't think you'd like marine art.
I'm having trouble finding much else that fits this category but I'll keep looking.....
