Abelardo Morell (Havana, Cuba. 1948) is known for his camera obscura photography.
The images below are from his series “Pictures on the Ground,” after Monet, Van Gogh, and Constable.
Below are a series of works from Morell’s references (Constable, Monet, and Van Gogh). Also included are works from Camille Pissarro, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, and Georges Seurat, who fill in part of the continuum from landscape painting through impressionism and into post-impressionism (specifically pointillism).
