Impressionistic Artworks

It must come as no surprise that Impressionistic Artworks are the largest category of art on this gallery; closely followed by Abstracts.

They are the most popular with customers as well.

Around the Bend at Cromford
Carole Busby

 

Impressionism began in Paris in the 19th-century. It was characterized by small yet visible brush strokes and an emphasis on depiction of light in its changing qualities. It demands no special knowledge for the viewer to enjoy the paintings.

Abstract art is sometimes considered more difficult to appreciate. Another reason Impressionism score highly with customers.

When looking at an abstract, you don’t actually have to try too hard. The colour, texture and vibrancy of the work will draw you in or put you off.

Because Impressionistic art is about the play of light, many works are about outdoor spaces; landscape or cityscape.

Chaos in the Meadow
Gill Bustamante

 

Almost any subject can be treated in an impressionistic way.

Lada Kholosho

BOAT REPAIR IN PROGRESS

The common theme is losing fine detail which would distract from the viewers ability to see the whole painting as an evocation of a fleeting moment.

Enjoy!
