Friday, August 27th, 2010Canvas Art – Abstract Impressionism
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Many fans are very familiar with abstract art abstract expressionism, particularly American Abstract Expressionism. There is another style that can be confused with this movement, and that is abstract impressionism. On the surface of things, an abstract expressionist oil painting could be compared with abstract impressionism. However, there are clear differences, although it would be fair to say that one is born of the other and both are born of Abstract Art. abstract impressionism, and abstract expressionism, usually working on a large canvas. With the abstract impressionism, the artist creates small brush strokes, reflection and analysis of space in time. The artist is doing an impression of internal energy, and emotion, which covers the interior space and reflects the artists. Therefore, the main emphasis is on the interior, personal, and not, as with abstract expressionism, an emotional response to an external world. And ‘this, that adds to the contemplative impressionist oil paintings abstract quality. The strokes of abstract impressionism reflect the early works of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists such as Monet, Vincent Van Gogh and Seurat. However, in the throws are shorter abstract impressionism. More controlled application of paint often agitated, which can be seen clearly in many of the products of abstract expressionist paintings. The “action painting”, Jackson Pollock, a renowned artist of abstract expressionism, was fast and furious. Although Abstract Expressionism had a specific approach, was a very different approach to abstract impressionism. Unlike abstract expressionism, abstract impressionism uses the concept of “time.” And “one of the most important elements of the concept. Time becomes an integral part of the oil painting. In the space of the canvas, the artist attempts to represent the analysis of its internal energy, and as always moving and changing over time. Entry points, as milestones on the road. It is a slow process and focused the analysis of the internal energy, represented in the different stages, with the concepts of time and space. In a sense, abstract impressionism could be compared with the work of Kandinsky, and in fact, impressionist canvas abstract art have a very lyrical quality. However, Kandinsky’s work was spontaneous and spiritual. If Kandinsky’s work was to reflect a single note, in comparison, abstract impressionism, reflects a melody. Otherwise, how could it be described? Its in the sense of vision. Imagine you look inside you now. What do you see? It would be a sound of falling energy? As the water from a bath? Or want to see a steady tide, flowing? It is a spatial visualization of energy, a metaphor, and this is when an abstract impressionist artist begins. However, the point is not that the metaphor to describe literally. Abstract Impressionism is to give an impression, the internal energy that reflects that. From this starting point, the artist moves. Analyze and express visually the movement of this energy. Therefore, the passage of time is such an important element in the abstract impressionism. Abstract Impressionism peaked in the fifties in the United States. The load was largely on the way to work. Not so much the method, or even the result. “It was Elaine de Kooning, the wife of Willem De Kooning, who first used the term abstract impressionism. Elaine de Kooning was a respected artist in his own right, although a bit” clouded by the huge success of her husband. Elaine de Kooning was a critic for Art News, and became very respected and recognized in this field. Once you have coined this new term, it was not long before approval by the art critics and artists. One of those critics was Lawrence Alloway, who, at that time, was one of the leader of the English Independent. Alloway in 1958 held an exhibition of British and American painters. He was a highly respected critic and curator in the United Kingdom. However, in 1961 Alloway moved to America with his wife. In this case, it has become a very influential writer and curator. Alloway was the curator of the famous 1966 exhibition, “Systematic Painting ‘, an exhibition that has proved another important step in the world of Contemporary American Art
