Island pictures have fascinated people for centuries in a way that no other form of landscape painting ever has. Exotic locales bring the reality of a
tropical paradise into any space and provide a reminder of a less hectic space in our lives. Artists like
Monet and Seurat explored the beauty and calm represented in this form of visual art. But why has island art so fascinated both artists and art enthusiasts?
Island art is meant to provoke feelings of peaceful tranquility, to provide a calm visual outlet in a fast-paced world. This is usually accomplished by the use of smooth textures and cool color palettes.
