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.

By CHUCK MAULDIN

Located in San Antonio, TX

Chuck Mauldin Born 1949 Fredericksburg Artist Image Size: 18 x 14 Frame Size: 22 x 18 Medium: Oil "Spring In Her Step" Cattle Landscape Texas A native of Texas, Chuck Mauldin has been painting in oil since the age of twelve. His interest in watercolor and pencil drawing grew during his years spent in Louisiana. With his move back to Texas, he has renewed his focus on oil painting, using this medium in a realistic yet painterly style. Striving to quickly capture color and mood with a direct "alla prima" technique is one of his main objectives in painting outdoors on-location. Cows, cowboys and Native Americans often enrich the landscape in his studio work, while anything can inspire his plein air paintings. Workshops with Charles Sovek, Kevin Macpherson, and many others have played a significant role in his development as an artist. He is a member of Oil Painters of America and has achieved Signature membership status in the Louisiana Watercolor Society and the Plein Air Artists of Colorado. Chuck has won numerous awards and has had work accepted into prestigious national juried competitions, such as the Oil Painters of America National Show (2020, 2021), Western Regional Show (2016, 2021, 2022) and Salon Show (2016, 2020). After 28 years in Louisiana, Chuck and his wife, Barbara, moved to Fredericksburg, Texas, in 2005, in order to pursue their passion for art on a full-time basis. In 2008, Chuck started teaching a beginner’s oil painting class and later intermediate classes in composition, landscape painting, and limited palettes. He is represented by Charles Morin Fine Art in Fredericksburg, Texas. Degrees in chemistry from Southern Methodist University (B.S.) and the University of Texas (PhD) led to Chuck's career in research at ExxonMobil Process Research Labs in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He presently holds 57 U.S. patents in the field of catalysis. He and Barbara have two sons and a daughter, and 8 perfect grandchildren. An Eagle Scout...

Dunes on California Coast, c 1930s

By Carl Sammons

Located in Pasadena, CA

Consigned to the gallery, Pasadena, California; By descent to a private collector, Encino, California; Acquired in 1998 by a private collector, San Carlos, Palo Alto, and Oceanside, California; From the Santa Barbara Historical Society Signed "Carl Sammons" on lower right Description This luminous coastal landscape by Carl Sammons is a striking example of the artist’s signature plein air style, depicting the rolling coastal dunes and lush vegetation of California’s shoreline. Best known for his depictions of Carmel and Monterey, the composition and palette of this work suggest inspiration from the Monterey Peninsula dunes. Sammons’ ability to merge vibrant, clean color with a sense of atmospheric perspective is evident here in the interplay of bright, sunlit sands and the rich greens of windswept foliage. His vibrant yet naturalistic color harmonies, crisp edges, and keen sensitivity to light bring the fleeting beauty of the coastal environment to life. The hazy eucalyptus grove in the background adds a distinctive regional touch, situating the composition firmly within California’s coastal identity. Sammons’ paintings of California’s unique landscapes played a significant role in documenting the natural beauty of the state during the early 20th century. Connection to the Monterey Art Colony By the 1920s and 1930s, Sammons became closely associated with the Monterey art colony, an influential hub for plein air painters such as Armin Hansen (1886–1957), William Ritschel (1864–1949), and Percy Gray...

Golden Autumn, Landscape, Original oil Painting, Handmade, Ready to Hang

Golden Autumn, Landscape, Original oil Painting, Handmade, Ready to Hang

By Ivan Shapoval

Located in Granada Hills, CA

Artist: Shapoval Ivan Leontyevich Work: Original oil painting, handmade artwork, one of a kind Medium: Oil on Canvas Style: Impressionism Year: 2007 Title: Golden Autumn, Size: 25.5" x 39.5" x 0.8'' inch, (64x100x3 cm) Unframed, Stretched on Wooden Bar, Gallery Wrapped, Ready to Hang. "Golden Autumn" is an enchanting oil painting that portrays the serene beauty of an autumnal forest in all its resplendent glory. The artist has expertly captured the essence of the season, bringing forth a scene that exudes warmth, tranquility, and a touch of melancholic nostalgia. The landscape unfolds on a vast canvas, stretching from one edge to the other, inviting viewers into a world of vibrant hues and captivating details. The foreground showcases a carpet of fallen leaves, painted in varying shades of gold, amber, and burnt sienna. Each leaf seems to possess its own unique character, with intricate veins and delicate edges, skillfully crafted by the artist's brushstrokes. As the eye ventures deeper into the painting, the forest begins to emerge. Towering trees stand tall and proud, adorned with foliage in an array of autumnal colors. Majestic shades of deep orange, fiery red, and rich burgundy create a stunning tapestry against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting warm, dappled patterns on the forest floor and illuminating the scene with a gentle radiance. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the texture and depth of the painting. Every tree trunk bears the marks of weathering and time, capturing the wisdom and endurance of nature. The interplay of light and shadow adds a sense of depth and three-dimensionality to the artwork, creating a captivating interplay of highlights and soft, diffused areas. The overall ambiance of "Golden Autumn" is one of tranquility and peace. The absence of any human presence allows the viewer to immerse themselves in the serene solitude of nature. There is a palpable stillness in the air, as if time itself has momentarily ceased, inviting contemplation and reflection. The painting serves as a testament to the ephemeral beauty of autumn, capturing a fleeting moment in nature's perpetual cycle. It evokes a sense of wonder and appreciation for the changing seasons, reminding us of the passage of time and the inherent transience of life. "Golden Autumn" is a masterful portrayal of nature's splendor, drawing viewers into a vivid and immersive landscape that celebrates the resplendent beauty of an autumnal forest in all its golden glory...
