Impressionist and Post-Impressionist "Motif"


Art as "Motifs of Real Life"...

My own art has always been influenced by the idea of "motif" and "real life".  Much of abstract, post-abstract, and "contemporary" art lacks these directions, ending up "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing", or worse, nothing but trivial decoration.

Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists used "Real Life" motifs (i.e., "what the painting is about"), sharply in contrast to the idealized "not real" subject matter of established academicism,  to see more, go here - "Impressionist - Post Impressionist Motifs"

    I like to think of my artwork motifs quite specifically.  That is, the works here are not "portrait of a woman"; they are Eva and Shannon.

    2. A famous modern artistsis someone who is active in the wide variety of actions which are linked to making art. The phrase has converted through time and situation, but the present day comprehension of the word usually describes someone who is included only in the aesthetic arts, rather than an artist or an actor.
