About Abstract and Contemporary Art on This Web Site

These contemporary abstract landscape paintings which are influenced by the work of Cubist and Expressionist painters may also be called Modern Art. Cubism means breaking up areas into shapes and planes in the manner of Cezanne and Picasso. Expressionism means that color, shapes and concepts are drawn from the emotions rather than reality. These are both abstract movements in painting.

Abstract artwork does not just mean work such as that of abstract expressionist, Jackson Pollack which is color and paint without images. Work can also be loosely abstract on the continuum from realism to abstract. Some of my work is almost completely abstract such as work on the Carnival page and Abstract page. Some of the paintings on this web site are more identifiable such as the landscape paintings. As an abstractionist, I use my natural environment for inspiration but do not copy what I see. Creating a realistic look is not my objective.

My motivation in making art is to use form, color, pattern, and shapes to create scenes from my imagination. I don't paint from life, only from impressions. Color is expressive. Forms are changed and perspective isn't necessarily ordered or applied. Cubism, in which overlapping planes, patterns and shapes give structure, defines my carnival and abstract people paintings.

Most of my paintings are oil on canvas but some of them are oil on masonite. These painting are available for purchase. Some of the smaller paintings are on the art gallery web site Etsy.
I also sell paintings to individuals who contact me through email and there is a pay pal link on the landscape page for a contemporary landscape painting.

Cubism, Style of Art

Cubism is a style of art work that was started by the artist Cezanne. It was considered the first truly abstract style in art. Cezanne's beautiful canvas oils of French landscapes and still life paintings were complex compositions that he painted from life. But he also changed and invented by breaking down the forms into planes and geometric slashes of color. This concept was expanded but the forms simplified by Picasso and Braque who are credited as the first cubists.

There are those who say that Picasso stole his ideas from the African masks that he saw on exhibit in Paris at the time he was inventing this new art style of Abstraction. Looking at Picasso's strictly cubistic work, one can understand the claim. In reality, I suppose it doesn't matter. What matters is, "How does it look?" "How interesting is it?"and the answer is yes. It does look good, it is interesting.
