They probably didn’t have the knowledge or understanding of pollution to consciously portray it.

However since the whole schtick is to paint outside, while touching grass, and paint as you see. If what you see is pollution you paint pollution. Its also less of a ‘wanting to paint things as foggy’ and more of a ‘wow this fog sure is aesthetically pleasing lemme paint it.’

Whether or not that inspiring fog was caused by pollution is what is being looked at.
