How To Find A Contemporary Impressionist Artist

By Susan Morris


For many types of art, especially in paintings, the goal of the artist is to be as realistic as possible so that the viewer will be amazed at how real it looks, and might even forget that he or she is only looking at a two-dimensional image painted on a canvas. This aim of realism is not what the contemporary impressionist artist strives for. Instead, these painters focus on depicting the scene the way that their eyes see it and their minds understand it.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Edouard Manet are four well-known names when it comes to impressionism. They were some of the founders of the style near the end of the 19th century in none other than Paris, France. These artists can be considered the foundation that any modern painter in this style has built upon.

One of the big parts of what makes these types of paintings stand out from the rest is the way it captures the energy of a scene. By going deep into their own mind and probing their own understanding of the scene, artists in this style can go beyond convention perspective. This allows energy exchanges in the scene like light and wind to be depicted.

It used to be true that only very rich people could afford to shop for artwork. Now anyone has the opportunity to look over a broad selection of paintings quite easily. By researching a trusted artist and curator, it's easy to shop for art online.

Just like any other type of artwork, the subjects or scenes of these paintings can vary as widely as the creator's imagination can stretch. This can mean anything from the classic rural countryside landscape to urban cityscapes, as well as interior scenes and ones focused on people. Sometimes it is interesting to learn what a particular artist's background is to possibly learn their motivation for making the paintings that they do.

When creating a painting, artists might either choose to work on the actual location itself of the scene they are painting, or they might choose to work from their studio. All kinds of painters have proven that both methods can yield wonderful results in all styles, and it is mainly a matter of preference. Many who practice impressionism like being on location because it allows them to really feel the energies of the scene.

Almost everyone has probably had the experience of looking at a painting and not being sure what is happening in it, not because it is abstract but because it is so loosely painted. By using brushstrokes that are vague, the viewer can interpret the image more like the way the brain naturally does. This can give the viewer a closer connection to the work.

As long as an artist or art dealer is a trusted source, the most important thing for the seller is that he or she likes the paintings that are produced. Beyond this, there are plenty of credentials that can be looked at. Many artists are involved in groups, and some hold leadership roles.
