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.

Condition is very good. In original 2 inch wide birdseye maple antique frame with thick museum mat with gold innner edge. Overall 22 by 26 inches. Biography Myles Birket Foster (4 February 1825 – 27 March 1899) was a popular English illustrator, watercolour artist and engraver in the Victorian period. His name is also to be found as Myles Birkett Foster. Life and work Foster was born in North Shields, England of a primarily Quaker family, but his family moved south to London in 1830, where his father founded M. B. Foster & sons — a successful beer-bottling company. He was schooled at Hitchin, Hertfordshire and on leaving initially went into his father's business. However, noticing his talent for art, his father secured an apprenticeship with the notable wood engraver, Ebenezer Landells, where he worked on illustrations for Punch magazine and the Illustrated London News. On leaving Landells' employ, he continued to produce work for the Illustrated London News and the Illustrated London Almanack. He also found work as a book illustrator and, during the 1850s, trained himself to paint in watercolours. His illustrations of Longfellow’s Evangeline and books of poetry by other contemporaries were a great success, and he quickly became a successful artist in watercolours. Birket Foster became an Associate of the "Old" Watercolour Society (Later the Royal Watercolour Society) in 1860 and exhibited some 400 of his paintings at the Royal Academy over more than 2 decades. Birket Foster travelled widely, painting the countryside around Scotland, the Rhine Valley, the Swiss lakes and in Italy, especially Venice. In 1863 he moved to Witley, near Godalming in Surrey where he had a house ("The Hill") built. Being friendly with Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris, he had the house decorated and furnished in contemporary style, with tiles and paintings by Burne-Jones and Morris' firm, Morris and Company. The same year he published a volume of "English Landscapes," with text by Tom Taylor...

Floral Abstract Painting Textured Flowers Original Art on Canvas

By Marina Fisher

Located in Zofingen, AG

Abstract Flower Garden Original Impasto Floral Painting Contemporary Wall Art on Canvas This original abstract floral painting captures the energy and richness of a blooming garden through a bold impasto technique and expressive brushwork. Rather than depicting a literal landscape, the artwork translates the essence of a flower garden into dynamic layers of color, texture, and movement. Vibrant greens, soft pinks, warm reds, and touches of white emerge from a deep, contrasting background, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric complexity. The composition evokes the feeling of walking through a dense, lively garden at the height of its bloom—where flowers, stems, and light dissolve into one another. Thick applications of oil paint form sculptural textures on the canvas surface, giving the piece a tactile, almost three-dimensional quality. This impasto floral painting emphasizes spontaneity and emotion, aligning with contemporary abstract art and modern expressionist approaches. Executed in oil on canvas, the artwork showcases rich layering and palette knife techniques typical of impasto painting. The surface catches light differently from every angle, making it especially engaging in interior spaces with natural or directional lighting. This is a one-of-a-kind original artwork, not a print or reproduction, appealing to collectors of abstract painting, contemporary floral art, textured wall art, and expressive modern decor. It fits seamlessly into interiors styled in modern, contemporary, or eclectic aesthetics. Size: 40 × 50 × 2 cm (16 × 20 × 0.79 inches) Medium: Oil impasto on canvas Year: 2022 Type: One-of-a-kind original painting Condition: Excellent Signature: Signed by the artist Framing: Unframed (ready for custom framing) The painting is sold unframed. The buyer is responsible for arranging framing according to personal taste and interior requirements. A floating frame or minimal contemporary frame is recommended to enhance the depth of the textured surface. This abstract flower garden painting...
