Il realismo contemporaneo è un approccio che utilizza la rappresentazione semplice, ma è diverso da fotorealismo, nel senso che non esagera e non è ironico in natura.
Dal 1978 si è concentrato sulla pittura di nature morte, paesaggi e figure che sono influenzati dall'epoca greco-romana.

Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009)

Wyeth was an american painter, primarily a realist painter, working predominantly in a Regionalist Style.
He was one of the best-known U.S. artists of the middle 20th century.born in the small rural Pennsylvania town of Chadds Ford.
He was home schooled in many subjects, including art education. Known to shun traditional oils, Wyeth instead opted to work with watercolors, drybrush, a technique where watercolors are used but water is squeezed or otherwise removed from the brush, and egg tempera (a medium where egg yolks are used as a binding agent and mixed with pigment to make paint).
Perhaps Andrew Wyeth is famous not so much for the type of painter he was, but more the painter he wasn't, as his subjects and style also varied drastically from many of the abstract oil painters from that period.

Biografia

Theodore Robinson nacque in un piccolo borgo rurale nel Vermont, ma la sua famiglia, poco dopo la sua nascita, andò a stabilirsi a Evansville, nel Wisconsin. Per questo il giovane Theodore iniziò i suoi studi d'arte all'"Art Insitute of Chicago" nel 1869.
L'anno seguente soggiornò a Denver, nel Colorado, presso le Montagne Rocciose, per alleviare le sue crisi d'asma.
Nel 1874, trasferitosi a New York, frequentò sia la "National Academy of Desing" che la "Art Students League".

Vincent Van Gogh | Drawings | Page 2


Generally overshadowed by the fame and familiarity of his paintings, Vincent van Gogh’s more than 1,100 drawings remain comparatively unknown, although they are among his most ingenious and striking creations. Van Gogh engaged drawing and painting in a rich dialogue, which enabled him to fully realize the creative potential of both means of expression.
Largely self-taught, Van Gogh believed that drawing was "the root of everything".
His reasons for drawing were numerous. At the outset of his career, he felt it necessary to master black and white before attempting to work in color. Thus, drawings formed an inextricable part of his development as a painter. There were periods when he wished to do nothing but draw.

Camille Pissarro: "Dipingi solo con i tre colori fondamentali.."

"Dipingi solo con i tre colori fondamentali e i loro immediati complementari".
"Lavora allo stesso tempo su cielo, acqua, rami, terra, mantenendo tutto su basi uguali… Non aver paura di mettere colore… Dipingi generosamente, senza esitazione e non perdere la prima impressione".
