Impressionism Oil Painting
Canvas Art - Abstract Impressionism
Many lovers of Abstract Art are very familiar with Abstract Expressionism, especially American Abstract Expressionism. There is another Art style, which could 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 very definite differences, although it would be fair to say, one was born from the other and both were born from Abstract Art.
Abstract Impressionism, like Abstract Expressionism, is usually worked on a large Canvas. With Abstract Impressionism, the Artist implements small brush strokes, reflecting and analyzing space, over time. The Artist is making an Impression of the inner energy, and emotion, which governs and reflects that Artists 'inner space'. Therefore, the main emphasis is upon internal, personal space, not, as with Abstract Expressionism, an emotional response to an external world. It is this, which adds the contemplative quality to Abstract Impressionist Oil Paintings.
The brush strokes of Abstract Impressionism reflect the early work of the Impressionists and Post Impressionists, such as Monet, Vincent Van Gogh and Seurat. However, within Abstract Impressionism the strokes are shorter. More controlled than the often flurried application of paint, which can be seen so obviously, in many of the Abstract Expressionist Paintings produced.
The 'Action Painting', of Jackson Pollock, a well noted Abstract Expressionist Artist, was fast and furious. Despite the fact Abstract Expressionism had a purposeful approach; it was a very different approach to Abstract Impressionism. Unlike Abstract Expressionism, Abstract Impressionism uses the concept of 'time'. It is one of the most important elements, within the concept. Time becomes an integral part of the Oil Painting. Within the space of the canvas, the artist attempts to depict an analysis of his or her own inner energy, and how it invariably shifts and changes, within the passage of time. Logging points, like mile stones along the road. This is a slow and purposeful analysis of inner energy, depicted at different stages, using the concepts of time and space.
In a way, Abstract Impressionism could be compared to the work of Kandinsky, and indeed, Abstract Impressionist canvas art do have a very lyrical quality. However, the work of Kandinsky was spontaneous and spiritual. If the work of Kandinsky was to reflect a single note, in comparison, Abstract Impressionism, would reflect a melody. How else could this be described? It�s in the visual sense.
Imagine looking inside yourself, right now. What would you see? Would it be a whoosh of tumbling energy? Like water draining from a bath? Or, would you see a steady, flowing tide? This is a spatial visualization of energy, a metaphor, and this is where an Abstract Impressionist Artist begins. However, the point is not to depict that metaphor in a literal sense. Abstract Impressionism attempts to give an Impression, of the inner energy that reflects this. From this starting point, the Artist moves on. Analyzing, and expressing visually, the movement of that energy. This is why the passing of time is such an important element within Abstract Impressionism.
Abstract Impressionism reached its peak during the fifties, in America. The onus was very much upon the approach to the work. Not so much upon the method, or even the outcome. It was Elaine De Kooning, wife of Willem De Kooning, who first used the term, Abstract Impressionism. Elaine de Kooning was a respected Artist in her own right, although somewhat overshadowed by the huge success of her husband. Elaine De Kooning was a critic for ART news, and became especially respected, and recognized, within that field. Once she coined this new term, it was not long before it was adopted by other Art critics, and Artists alike.
One of those critics was Lawrence Alloway, who, at the time, was a leading member of the English 'Independent group'. In 1958 Alloway held an exhibition for British and American Painters. He was a highly respected critic and curator in the UK. However, in 1961 Alloway moved to the United States, with his wife. Here, he became an extremely influential writer, and curator. Alloway was the curator for the famous, 1966, exhibition, 'Systematic Painting', an exhibition that proved to be another important stepping stone, for the world of American Contemporary Art.

American Impressionism $31.98 Luminous works by Childe Hassam, Ernest Lawson, Maurice Prendergast, John Henry Twachtman, are among the 100 seminal works featured in this book showcasing 27 artists. As members of the first generation of American painters to absorb the technique, brighter palette, and subject matter of Impressionism from their French counterparts, these artists transformed the heroic American landscape into a modern idiom, in atmospheric park and beach scenes, urban views, and charming interiors, with particular interest in optical effects, light, and the seasons. This book provides a vivid summary of the movement, starting with its roots in earlier American art and its relationship to French Impressionism. It charts the response of many of these American artists to one of the most beloved movements in 19th century painting. All of the masterworks are here, in full color, from Hassam's sun-drenced gardens to Twachtman's snowy landscapes. It is a celebration of the Impressionist style and it's fresh interpretatiuon of America's landscapes |
