How To Find A Contemporary Impressionist Artist

By Susan Morris


Impressionism is a style of painting that focuses on capturing the scene the way that the viewer sees it, rather than trying to be a realistic or fanciful as possible. This way of making art has produced many pieces that people can connect with deeply because of the way it depicts what the artist truly sees. It is easy to find a contemporary impressionist artist who can show the world the way she or he sees it.

This is a style that first emerged in France late in the 19th century. Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, and Edouard Manet were a few of the well-known contributors and founders of this way of painting, and their work can still be seen today. These pieces serve as great examples and starting places in looking for a more modern impressionism piece.

While some paintings are extremely realistic, that sometimes does not make them look the most natural. When looking at any kind of a scene, be it urban or rural, the eyes and the mind work together to send signals and break down a picture that has a mindboggling number of features to it. The way that impressionism recreates this is by emphasizing the features of light and atmospheric change that are often naturally emphasized to the human eye.

Shopping for artwork has never been easier with the help of the internet. It is now possible to look at a massive selection of paintings from all kinds of different artists and curators from around the world without having to jet around the world to do so. This has made buying and selling these pieces more accessible to a greater number of people.

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.

Working on location serves a big advantage for anyone painting in the style of impressionism. This is because of the nature of the style itself, being focused on the painter's impression itself of the scene. While there is plenty of work that can be done from the quiet of a studio, in order to capture all of the light and wind movement, sometimes painting from a picture alone is not enough.

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.

When looking through the many different artists, there are many credentials one can look at. Some artists are active members of different artists' organizations, and some even hold leadership positions. Generally, however, the most important thing to the buyer is whether he or she likes the art that the painter produces.
