Discovering The Work Of A Contemporary Impressionist Artist

By Debra Fisher


When it comes to art, there are a lot of famous artists and genres. Some of the most famous and notable are the French Impressionists. As such, it is no surprise when looking for a piece resembling the work of one of these masters, an individual would look for work by a contemporary impressionist artist.

To understand the art of these contemporaries, one must first understand the art of the French Impressionist Masters. Some of these individuals include, August Renoir, Paul Cezzane, Edgar Degas, Marc Chagall, Frederic Bazille and Claude Monet. One of the best ways to gain insight into the amazing art and work of these artists is by visiting a gallery or museum. For, most have works hanging in art museums and galleries around the world.

At the same time, for those whom can not make it to a museum, a number of works are now available to view online. While this is the case, it can often be hard to see the same effects with regards to light and shadow which is highly visible in the original paintings. Whatever the case, in order to understand current artists working in this genre, one has to understand the concept provided by the original paintings.

Like the original impressionists, contemporaries working in this genre use a great deal of light and shadow. While having passed in 2012, a good example of this type of contemporary impressionist art are paintings by Thomas Kinkaid, often known as the painter of light. In addition, like the French Impressionists, who were considered Radicals, paintings are created using freshly brushed colors which takes precedence over contours and lines.

Most often, those working in this genre prefer to paint scenes, thus painting outdoors is often the only option. While this is the case, painting outdoors as often been a favorite activity of artists since the beginning of time. For, whether painting in a park, on a hill or on the shore overlooking the ocean, the results are often captivating, especially when the artist can make a scene come to life.

Whether painting an ocean scene with waves crashing against the rocks, the crooked Lombard street in San Francisco featuring the glow of lamplights or an object in a fixed pose, these artists have a knack for bringing a painting to life through the use of colors, light and shadow. For, by using these techniques, the elements of a painting come together, often resembling works of the original French Impressionists.

While the art form first emerged in France, there were others working in Italy and the United States. While this is the case, it was the French Impressionists whom developed the techniques which are still used by contemporaries. Basically, an art form that uses the play of light in different compositions and poses with varying colors which attribute to the feel of immediacy and movement.

Throughout history, a number of critics have always disapproved of this art form. At the same time, there were others whom thought these artists had a sense of originality and vision absent from other genres. In either case, it is up to current contemporaries to continue creating art of this nature for current and future generations.
