For Cyril Cox (Canada, 1958) the way light falls is the most important element in a painting. He believes nothing conveys emotion and atmosphere quite like the right quality of light. He therefore frequently goes out with his camera to capture perfect compositions and dramatic lighting in nature.

This painting depicts an birch forest in autumn, where the interplay of light and shadow takes center stage.
In the foreground stands a striking group of white birch trees with their characteristic dark bark markings.
A warm, bright autumn sun shines through the trees, creating an intense, golden-orange glow in the background.

Gösta Hübinette (Sweden, 1897–1980) was known for the extensive, artisanal manipulation of his photographs. He had a strong preference for atmospheric, melancholic landscapes. Within Pictorialism, the goal was not to record reality in a purely documentary fashion, but to convey a painterly quality.

The work is a classic example of Pictorialism, a style in which photography is approached like painting, often featuring an atmospheric, dark, and dreamy tonality. It depicts a hilly landscape at twilight or by moonlight, with two trees and a prehistoric monument (such as a dolmen or *hunebed*) in the center. The signature "G. Hübinette 1928" is visible in the bottom right of the print.
