Hmmm, if you take away the depressive element, you could definitely go for some Impressionists. They were all about how light distorts the landscape, and trying to evoke emotion through the different refractions of light etc. It might be good just to have Manet/Monet (Monet in particular, although Manet had some pretty evocative portraits) in there anyway, having two contemporary and one 'classical' artist sounds like a good combination.

how about man ray? if you're looking into landscape photography the most obvious choice to pick is Ansel Adams. how about some photojournalists?
