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.

Individuals not able to visit a museum can now view some of these artists online. For, different art and museum websites now host a number of artists and paintings. While it can be easy to do so, it is hard to capture the effects of light and shadow. As such, it is often preferable to view the original paintings when and where possible. For, it is important to understand the original concepts used by these artists in order to comprehend the work of current contemporaries.

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.

Individuals working in this genre often prefer to paint outdoors, as did the original French Impressionists. In many cases, these artists can be seen painting on canvas in gardens, parks or on hills overlooking the ocean. For, these areas often provide a great deal of scenery which can be captured and captivating in paintings.

Whether using a natural backdrop or fixed pose, no other artists have been able to create the effects of the French Impressionists or a number of contemporaries, such as Mr. Kinkaid. As such, many current paintings resemble those of the French Impressionist Masters. While at the same time, each has a style that is often unusual and unique to each artist.

While French Impressionism originally emerged from France, the style has now spread around the world. As such, there have been artists working in Europe, Italy and the United States for quite some time. Whether during the early days, or in the present, artists working in this genre are well known for work which is breathtakingly beautiful and unique.

It is now up to contemporaries to create new masterpieces using these techniques. For, while there are many well known paintings hanging in museums, most are priceless. As such, there are also people whom would like to own art resembling these pieces.
