I think its the psychological makeup of the person. The mind of a person who excels in portraiture seeks out the borders, fences and the confines of a portrait. Even still life has these elements. But a landscape is different. So much ****ed freedom. If my cloud goes here there it just doesn't matter. I think the portrait painter wants everything to matter.
