Is the sigma 12 24mm f 4 dg hsm art good for landscape?

Yes, the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art is a good fit for landscapes. It's a wide zoom, which is what landscape work calls for: big skies and strong foregrounds. The f/4 maximum aperture is plenty, since landscape shooting usually happens between f/8 and f/11 anyway. That also keeps the lens lighter and cheaper than the f/2.8 versions. You'll be on a tripod for most of it, so the lack of stabilisation doesn't matter much.

On a full-frame body it frames at its full 12-24mm, which is wider than the classic 16-35mm. On APS-C it becomes roughly 18-36mm on Nikon or 19-38mm on Canon, which is less wide. If you want the full effect, pair it with a full-frame body such as the Nikon D850 or the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. For the reasoning behind lens choices, see the landscape guide.
