What connects me with the early Impressionists? Undoubtedly not the color of artworks.
At first glance, my pictures have nothing familiar with the artworks of famous impressionists painters.
Nevertheless, I have one common feature with them: both the great, early Impressionists and I, we’re looking for picturesque sights outside the walls of houses and studios. The impressionistic movement began in such a way that artists, mainly painters, had enough of dark and cramped art studios. Who were these artists? I hope that you know their artworks, but because of the duty of a chronicler, I will name some of them: Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, or Edouard Manet.
In this post, I want to stress that even if the artworks of some artists are entirely different (Impressionists vs. Adam Mazek), still, we can try to seek some similar features in our artistic activities.
Both my and the Impressionist’s studio are the streets or buildings, broadly understood urban landscapes, and also rural ones. Early impressionistic painters had enough of the sitting in one place, and painting models. They wanted to go outside to see the world in the way as no-one ever did before them. At this moment, I would like to underline that I feel 100% the Impressionist.
Creating art outdoor is the activity that I want to do until the end of my life.
I make mainly Black and White Photography. Is that mean that I do not admire paintings of early Impressionists? Of course not. I do love them. I like to read the Taschen books about their artistic movement. My passion is to learn about van Gogh’s or Monet’s artworks. I love to admire how they could transform and develop surrounding them a reality, into marvelous, full of life, awe-striking paintings.
Undoubtedly, there is a lot of things which we all can learn from the Impressionists masters. For now, I stop writing, and I am coming back to reading one of Taschen’s books about the Impressionists.
