Impressionist Art

IMPRESSIONIST STYLE

Emerging in 19th-century France, Impressionist art embraced loose brushwork and plein-air painting to respond to the movement of daily life. Although the pioneers of the Impressionist movement — Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir — are now household names, their work was a radical break with an art scene led and shaped by academic traditions for around two centuries. These academies had oversight of a curriculum that emphasized formal drawing, painting and sculpting techniques and historical themes.

The French Impressionists were influenced by a group of artists known as the Barbizon School, who painted what they witnessed in nature. The rejection of pieces by these artists and the later Impressionists from the salons culminated in a watershed 1874 exhibition in Paris that was staged outside of the juried systems. After a work of Monet’s was derided by a critic as an unfinished “impression,” the term was taken as a celebration of their shared interest in capturing fleeting moments as subject matter, whether the shifting weather on rural landscapes or the frenzy of an urban crowd. Rather than the exacting realism of the academic tradition, Impressionist paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings represented how an artist saw a world in motion.

Many Impressionist painters were inspired by the perspectives in imported Japanese prints alongside these shifts in European painting — Édouard Manet drew on ukiyo-e woodblock prints and depicted Japanese design in his Portrait of Émile Zola, for example. American artists such as Mary Cassatt and William Merritt Chase, who studied abroad, were impacted by the work of the French artists, and by the late 19th century American Impressionism had its own distinct aesthetics with painters responding to the rapid modernization of cities through quickly created works that were vivid with color and light.

Bomber and Buckeroos by Till Goodan, Westward Ho Company
Located in Phoenix, AZ
Bomber And Buckeroos ca. 1939 Till Goodan Offset Lithograph PRINTS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. PRINTS MAY HAVE SMALL FLAW ALONG EDGE OF PAPER, DOES NOT EFFECT THE PRINT IMAGE All the prints are 26 x 31 inches, Mustang Peeler, Bombers and Buckaroos, The stranger, Guardians of the Range and Range Baby. Note that “The Mustang Runner” is 3 inches shorter in height, 23 x 31 inches The print by Till Goodan was originally a painting and reproduced by the Westward Ho company as a set. Westward Ho produced the most sought after Western dinnerware ever made. The most popular pattern was the Rodeo pattern by Till Goodan. He Illustrated and branded many accessories sold by the Westward Ho Company. Tillman Parker Goodan 1896-1958 To the casual observer his paintings are exciting and colorful. To the scholars of the Western Era they are benchmarks of authenticity. Such is the style of Till Goodan. He was born Tillman Parker Goodan in Eaton, Colorado on March 27, 1896. His father was a true western pioneer, mayor of Eaton, publisher of its first newspaper, and County Commissioner for several years. After moving to California in 1905 and settling on a little farm that bordered the Michel Cattle Ranch, Till spent much of his boyhood with the Michel sons working on their ranch. There he developed his expertise as a calf roper and the skills of a working cowboy. As a young man Till pursued endeavors that would initially callous his emerging artistic hands. He worked for the famous Miller and Lux Ranch in California. He packed mules and ran pack trains into the Sierra Mountains. He broke horses and competed in local rodeos riding saddle broncs and roping calves. And during the quiet hours he would draw pictures of ranch life and the action of the rodeo. People began commenting on his talents as an artist. In 1917 he left the rodeo circuit and turned his full attention to a career in art. He studied with Roger Sterrett, William Paxton, and Dana Bartlett, all highly respected California artists. Till soon became a free-lance commercial artist doing work for Grauman’s Chinese and Lowe’s Theaters, Helms Bakery and Security Bank. He later assumed a position as Art Director for the Richfield Oil Company. However, his first love was still the art of the old west, horses, cowboys, and ranching. So, he left Richfield and gave his full attention to the field of fine arts. He did oil painting, water colors and lithographs. He drew the Gene Autry Comic Books. He illustrated and hand lettered a large collection of stories about famous bucking horses, ranches, horsemen of the world, and western gear. In association with W.C. Wentz, he started producing a complete line of western gift wares, ceramics, bronzes, leather, paper, and fabric. By the 1930′s he was beginning to receive recognition for his western art and by the early 1940s, he and his daughter, Betty, were illustrating comic books for his longtime friend, Gene Autry. Betty was also a world champion cowgirl. Till Goodan designs appeared in virtually every medium. But, the most famous was the four lines of dinnerware produced by Wallace China...

Daniel Sherrin, Heath Landscape With Sunset
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This early 20th-century autumnal oil painting by British artist Daniel Sherrin (1869-1940) depicts a rugged heath landscape under the glow of a setting sun. Sherrin was an accomplished painter of landscapes and maritime subjects. He spent the majority of his life in Seasalter, near Whitstable in Kent, where he became a local celebrity of repute. His father, John Sherrin RI RWS (1819-1896), was a painter of delicate still lifes in watercolour and trained by the distinguished William Henry Hunt (1790-1864). However, it’s unlikely that he provided any early tuition for his son as he actively dissuaded the young lad from entering the profession. As such, Sherrin was instead apprenticed to Peter Moore...

Grand Canyon, Arizona, Large Vintage Southwestern Landscape, Evening Clouds
Located in Denver, CO
Original large format southwestern landscape painting of the Grand Canyon in Arizona by Pawel (Paul) Kontny. Evening scene with sunset coloring over the canyon with dramatic clouds and trees in the foreground. Colors include blue, purple, green, red/brown and white. Original painting with Kontny's unique process combining marble dust, gesso and oil glaze on masonite to create rich tones and a sense of depth and texture. Signed by the artist, lower left. Presented in a custom frame, outer dimensions measure 45 ¼ x 59 ¼ x 1 ½ inches. Image size is 34 x 48 inches. About the Artist: The second oldest of five children of a prosperous bakery shop-café owner, Pawel Kontny (Paul Kontny, Pawel August Kontny) began sketching and drawing Indians based on Karl May's popular Western novels which he read as a youngster growing up in Europe. Initially designated to take over the family business, Kontny's father finally accepted his son's interest in art. After relocating the family to Gleiwitz in Upper Silesia (today, Gliwice, Poland) in 1936, he engaged an unemployed artist, Michael Uliga, to provide Paul some initial art instruction. In high school Kontny received additional encouragement and direction from Professor Pautsch. While still a student he was commissioned to paint a large image of St. Anthony for the family's parish church in Gleiwitz. In addition to formal instruction, Kontny's father financed Paul's trip to the Old Masters Picture Gallery in Dresden (the home of his aunt) and to the Silesian Fine Arts Museum in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland). The trip provided him a firsthand introduction at age thirteen to painting and drawing by European masters and to the work of some of the German Expressionists, soon afterward banned as "degenerate artists" and removed from museums throughout Germany by the Nazi regime. After graduation from Emperor Wilhelm State High School in Gleiwitz, Kontny briefly studied at the local mechanical engineering and metallurgy school, addressing his parents' concern about the economic prospect of his earning a decent livelihood as an artist. In 1940 he transferred to the technical college in Breslau where he studied architecture until being drafted into the German army in 1941. His first choice had been the Breslau Art Academy, but the Nazi authorities closed it down in 1932. After 1940 he had no other formal art training. During World War II his army unit served on the Eastern Front in the former Soviet Union. He documented his wartime experiences there and elsewhere in Eastern Europe with sketches and drawings which he temporarily stored in his gas mask canister until mailing them to his parents in Gleiwitz. Captured in northern Italy by Allied forces at the end of the war, his talent impressed General Wade H. Haislip of the 7th Army and the Western Military District in Germany who dispatched him under armed guard on a private sketching trip to northern Italy, including Venice. After his release from captivity, Kontny initially lived with his cousin's family in Eberhardsbühl, Germany, before being hired to help build the new European publishing center of Stars and Stripes, the American military newspaper, in Altdorf near Nuremberg, Germany. During his free time, he bicycled and sketched the small, historic Bavarian towns near Altdorf. His involvement with the Stars and Stripes project and his postwar village reconstruction work in Bavaria earned him an architect's card and membership in the Nuremberg Architects' Association in 1946. One of eleven architects on its working team, he helped design new housing in the city's residential areas destroyed by Allied bombing during the war. In the late 1940s he also designed the building for the Giesenhagen insurance company and the interior of the Schrafft Delicatessen in Nuremberg, and with two other colleagues a private home in Bavaria influenced by the International Style in architecture. After completing his work with the architects' association in Nuremberg where he also painted urban landscapes of the bombed wartime ruins, he returned to Eberhardsbühl where he began depicting the local residents and the landscape in a modernist style. In 1949 his work was introduced to the public in a lecture at the Amerika Haus in nearby Sulzbach-Rosenberg by art critic, Janheinz Jahn. His encouragement prompted Kontny to relocate to Nuremberg where he joined the Association of Independent Professional Nuremberg Artists and participated in its 1949 exhibition. His early success in Nuremberg led to solo shows at the Galerie Schröder and Galerie Stenzel in Munich, as well as at the Alioth Gallery in Basel and Saint Moritz, Switzerland. He also had a solo show at the Little Studio Gallery in New York in 1957 and at the Pogzeba Gallery in Denver in 1958. His participation in the all-German "Iron and Steel" exhibition at the Dusseldorf Museum in 1952 enhanced his reputation as an artist outside of Bavaria. The money he received from the sale of his work at that exhibition financed his first trip to France, Spain and North Africa. His urbanscapes of cities in North Africa reflect the influence of the earlier color-block compositions of Paul Klee, one of his favorite artists. Another influence was J.W.W. Turner whose work he studied at the Tate Gallery in London on a summer trip to England and Ireland in 1953 with Professor F.W. Schoberth of the Academy for Economics in Erlangen, Germany. Kontny did a number of sketches of people he observed during his trip, as well as watercolors and pastels of the various locations he visited. In the early 1950s his painting style showed the influence of the Die Brücke (The Bridge), a group of German expressionist artists formed in Dresden in 1905 who had a major impact on the evolution of modern art in the twentieth century in Germany. By the middle of the decade his style incorporated more referential abstraction and total abstraction, resulting in part from his study of Hans Hartung, a German artist based in Paris who exhibited his gestural abstract work in Germany. Kontny also benefitted from his contact with Karl Dahmen, a German abstract painter artist in the Rhineland. His friendship with Dahmen led him to experiment with marble dust for added texture in his work. Along with his painting, he produced lithographs of figures and urban vignettes for about five years beginning in the mid-1950s. At the same time he also sculpted in bronze and stone which he continued into the following decade. In the early 1950s he also did a number of drawings of authors, musicians and artists for the Nürnberger Nachricten (Nuremberg News), and illustrated the writings of German authors, Wolfgang Borchert and Hans Pflug-Franken. In 1960 the president of the Schaefer Pen Company, a collector of Kontny's work, invited him and his family for a summer trip to the United States that included New York, Chicago and Denver. Kontny visited the Metropolitan and Guggenheim Museums and the New York galleries, acquainting himself firsthand with the postwar developments in American art. He traveled with his family to Chicago to see the Marshall Fields Gallery where he had exhibited in 1957, and then on to Denver to meet gallery dealer John Pogzeba who had arranged his first solo show in the Mile High City in 1958. Pogzeba took the Kontnys to Taos and Santa Fe whose Native American and Hispano cultures provided Paul with abundant subject matter after relocating to Denver, Colorado, in 1962. He facilitated shows of Konty's work at the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe, and the Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco. In Denver Kontny refined his marble dust technique during the 1960s, producing various grades shifted through his wife's pantyhose. He switched to masonite for his painting surface after discovering that traditional canvas could not adequately support his gessoed marble dust mixture. He used the mixture to sculpt the image on the masonite, then allowing it to dry before applying oil glazes. His marble dust technique easily lent itself to depicting the architecture of Paris, Naples, and Dubrovnik, as well as the multistoried tribal pueblos in northern New Mexico and Arizona. His initial encounter with Native Americans in New Mexico extended his search for subject matter to the Plains Indians in Wyoming and Montana whom he had read about in Karl May's adventure novels and whom he chose to depict in oil, watercolor and pastel. He also applied his marble dust technique to three non-representational series he pursued until the end of his life – Cosmos, inspired by the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 and Carl Sagan's Cosmos television series in the 1980s; the Age of Technology, symbolizing his admiration for modern technological achievement; and Ancient Memories, synthesizing his life-long interest in the ancient cultures of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Babylon, as well as those of the Aztecs, Mayan and Incas of the Western Hemisphere. Although based in Denver, Kontny remained an inveterate traveler. His frequent trips to Europe, Mexico and Hawaii provided him a wealth of new material, augmented with portraits and still lifes including the official portrait of Governor Richard Lamm in 1976 for the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. To keep his eye fresh throughout his career, Kontny did hundreds of ink drawings in both representational and nonobjective styles. He likened them to a pianist's need for daily keyboard practice. His love of classical music and jazz is reflected in nonobjective paintings and pastels done both in Europe and the United States. Apart from his disciplined daily studio schedule in Denver, Kontny willingly trained a younger generation of professional artists, sharing with them his extensive knowledge of art history and the techniques of his facility in oil, watercolor, pastel and drawing. Among those benefitting from his instruction, counsel and assistance were Lorenzo Chavez, Tim Cisneros, Len Garon, Carol Katchen, Desmond O'Hagan, Leon Loughridge, George Tate...

Symphony in Blue and Green by Bethanne Cople, Oil on Board Landscape painting
Located in Atlanta, GA
The American landscape – endless skies, calming waters and the varied shores of the East and West coasts - are Cople’s passion and she travels far and wide to capture her subjects. “I love painting the landscape en plein air. In the outdoors, exposed to the sun, wind and rain, you can incorporate not only what you see, but also the sounds and the smells of the landscape. All of this lets me convey the sense of wonder I feel at the subject,” says Cople. Undeterred by nature’s extremes, Cople has painted in blizzards in the Wasatch Mountains...

"Central Park Nocturne" Impressionist Oil Painting Figures in Central Park NYC
Located in New York, NY
A stunning jewel and pertinent example of Berthelsen's charming New York City scenes. Here we find a Central Park pathway at night and the Manhattan buildings depicted in the far background with pops of colors shinning through the lights and magic of the city. The artist was truly a master of capturing New York in all of its glory throughout the seasons. This piece is executed whimsically, yet dramatically evoking an emotion of wonder and beauty. This piece is signed lower right by the artist and stamped on the back, it comes housed in a beautiful French giltwood frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 6 x 8 inches Frame measures 9.75 x 11.75 inches Johann Berthelsen was born in Copenhagen in 1883, the 7th of seven children, to Conrad and Dorothea Karen Berthelsen. His parents were involved in artistic and professional circles. In 1890, his mother brought the children to America, settling in Manistee, Michigan, with her sister's family. They would eventually move to Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a city on the shore of Lake Michigan. As a teenager, Johann was actively involved in choirs and singing groups. And he always loved to draw and paint, and while he was too impatient to take well to schoolwork, and never went beyond the 5th grade. Although he worked in several trades, Johann's mind and heart were always with the arts. As his voice matured, he also always wanted to be an actor, and at the age of 18 moved to Chicago where he reconnected with an old friend who was studying voice at the Chicago Musical...
