Discover the history of abstract art, touching on the most famous abstract artists of the 20th century, with a guide to Abstractionism in Art
Introduction to Abstract Artists and Abstractionism in Art
The early to mid 20th century was an exciting period of growth and development in European art, with abstraction starting to replace the more formal methods of representation. Emotions and concepts could now be displayed through non-literal means, and this push away from reality opened many doors for creatively-minded, innovative artists.
The rise of abstract art brought many new movements into the mainstream, initially in Europe before a later spread into other territories such as the US and Mexico. These new developments also represented an influence from non-western art, as the world started to open up and a wider variety of ideas and techniques would now be shared and promoted.
This article will first examine the most famous abstraction artists from across the century, as well as drilling down into the specific movements in which they were involved. The selection of artists attempts to cover the full gamit of styles and disciplines in which the use of abstract art would spread, going from painting and drawing into sculpture, digital art and much more.
List of Famous Abstract Artists
We have summarised the most famous abstract artists down to a list of 18, who we believe to be the most influential and talented of them all. The list spans the entire 20th century, and provides a comprehensive guide to the different offshoots of abstract art, as well as the regions in which it flourished. The success of the movement ensures that all of the names listed here can be considered household names on a global level.
Abstract art touches on many different movements, and varying levels of abstraction can be used within that. Even within the careers of these artists, many would evolve their work over the course of their careers, and some would initially work in a more classical style skin to Impressionism or even Renaissance art. Over time, as their personality started to show through in their work, and their confidence grew, so they would move towards a more unique approach.
Wassily Kandinsky remains one of the most famous abstract artists of them all, and left a huge legacy on European modern art. He was not only a talented painter, but also a theorist, helping to develop a deeper thinking approach to abstraction, including in the study and use of color. Kandinsky was also involved in a number of significant art groups, where progress would be made and momentum built, through the exchange of ideas between like minded artists.
Kandinsky's path to abstraction was slow, but steady. Some of the abstract paintings listed below give an indication of the artist towards the end of his evolution, when forms were reduced to arrangements of circles and lines. Prior to that, his work was expressive but more traditional, including a number of charming landscapes and cityscapes.

Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint was a talented and influential Swedish female painter whose impact has for many years been undervalued. Only now has knowledge about her achievements started to spread beyond her native Sweden, and she is now seen as a key contributor to abstract art in the early 20th century. Klint was influenced by mysticism and was a deep thinking woman who formed connections with a number of other female painters.
Her work was hidden from view for two decades after her death, at her request, because of its contemporary nature. She delivered simple arrangements of circles and color, which for the period was ground-breaking. Inevitably, it took time to be accepted, but she is now seen as one of the most famous female abstract artists in history and a very important addition to the history of Swedish art.

Jackson Pollock was an American Abstract Expressionist who helped New York to become the capital of western art. He impressed using the drip technique which offered a form of artwork that could never be reproduced, even by the same artist. There was the element of chance, as promoted by Surrealist artists, as well as a careful consideration of color. Pollock loved to express himself and the physical nature of his approach helped him to feel highly connected to his art.
The artist would lay large canvases down and apply paint whilst standing above, dripping paint directly. Across his work he would vary colors to give different feelings. This approach could only have worked in the 20th century, when artists were now afforded much more artistic freedom than had been seen before, with the US being at the forefront of that in the second half of the 20th century.

Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter who evolved over the period of his career, taking in a variety of movements including Cubism, before later switching to a highly abstract method. He is most famous for the latter day, representing city scenes with simple arrangements of black lines which created panes of color between their intersection points. His earlier works were expressive landscapes, including scenes of his local beaches and tree paintings.
It was the simplicity of Mondrian's late work which was to stick most in people's minds. To deliver such abstraction in the early to mid 20th century was groundbreaking, and paintings such as this still appear entirely contemporary today, nearly one hundred years later. He stuck to a limited palette, using tones of blue, yellow and red to sit alongside his black and white lines, gifting us some impactful work which spearheaded the abstract art movement.

Mark Rothko is best known for his artistic style which became known as Color Field painting. He produced large murals, several metres wide and tall, that would cover the viewer's viewport and engulf them in a sea of color and abstraction. He stuck with this approach for several decades, after initially trying out other forms of modern art which had more of an expressive manner. His paintings today are entirely recognisable as his own, despite the influence that he had on later generations of American artists.
Rothko loved to reduce items to abstract forms, and named his paintings in a very generic manner in order to allow the viewer to decide for themselves as to what they were looking at. This lack of detail made color choices even more important, with Rothko tending to go for brighter tones in most cases. He remains one of the leading American Abstract Expressionists from the second half of the 20th century.

Kazimir Malevich became famous for taking abstractionism just as far as it could go. He produced simple arrangements of single shapes placed centrally on his canvases, often in black and white. This included his Black Square, which was recently used as a viral political statement, by many who were unaware of the origins of the painting. He was one of the first artists to work in this manner, and soon fell out of favor with ruling powers in his native Russia, forcing him to leave many of his paintings in Germany after being allowed to exhibit there.
After running into issues with this abstract style, Malevich started to depict local peasantry in a manner that was more acceptable to the tastes of the day. These paintings were still highly expressive and managed to strike the right balance between delivering impactful modern art, but without dragging the artist into further controversy. Today he is regarded as one of the leading Eastern European abstract artists, with other great works including White on White and Black Circle.

Joan Miro was a famous Spanish painter who created abstract iconography which he was able to spread across multiple disciplines, including drawing, painting and sculpture. These includes lines, arrows, and also elements inspired by constellations. All would be delivered in a flat, two dimensional world which resembled a sky at night. Other items such as parts of the body and plants would be re-purposed in abstract forms, often floating in the wildnerness on their own, touching on an influence of Surrealism.
Miro was then able to take some of these items, along with his bright palette, and apply them to large, outdoors installation sculptures, many of which remain in place today. Miro remains one of the most famous abstract artists to have come from Spain, with this nation being particularly influential in Surrealism and Cubism, as well as modern art more generally. Many of them would also produce decorative ceramics, drawing together traditional and modern art styles.

Paul Klee's classic artwork, Castle and Sun, is shown below and perfectly captures the balance between Abstractionism and reality. There we find a bright and almost child-like interpretation of a cityscape, with buildings reduced to a series of squares and triangles, with a circle representing a falling sunset. Senecio, by contrast, provides an abstract portrait, which may remind some of non-western art, such as from various African cultures.
Klee himself worked in a variety of styles across his highly prolific career, all of which were modern. He also experimented with watercolors as well as oils, and was also a talented draughtsman. His colors were carefully considered, with Klee becoming a color theorist who published his thoughts on the use of color within art, and how color could be used for different purposes, when combined in different ways.

Georgia O'Keeffe is most famous for flower paintings in which the composition would be zoomed into the centre of a plant, removing the context of the overall shape of the flower head. This produced bright, abstract shapes which perfectly suited the direction of American art at the time. The artist even started to grow her own flowers to use in her work, as well as collecting other items in her native US, such as animal bones. She was a Modernist, with abstract shapes and bright colors throughout.
O'Keeffe helped to establish American art as a leading influence on western art, as for centuries US-based artists had mainly been following in the footsteps of their European counterparts. Modern art would mark the rise of US art, and they would become masters of abstract art, with O'Keeffe appearing alongside the likes of Rothko and Pollock. Collectors soon took note, and valuations of their work shot up in the second half of the 20th century.

Pablo Picasso worked in a modern fashion for much of his career, but it would be wrong to specifically label him as an abstract artist, as such. He certainly approached Abstract Expressionism in style at various points, but was someone who made use of elements of abstraction, rather than specialising in it. He worked with Cubism in the early 20th century, as well as Surrealism, but is better classified as a modern artist with a varied output. The influence of African art on his career lay behind his abstract figures, but he also worked more traditionally earlier on in his career.
Guernica, his most famous artwork, combined political activism and commentary with abstract forms, with twisted and contorted figures representing the brutality of war. This huge mural helps to represent a specfic period in Spanish history, but also to warn more generally about the hoors of war which are normally best avoided. Picasso's popular line drawings may also be considered abstract, because of how he reduced creatures down to just a single, carefully crafted stroke of the pencil.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner
Ernst Ludwig Kirchner made use of abstractionism within his Expressionist art, as shown in the painting below, titled Marzella. He would reduce city scenes and portrait figures to just a few, long brushstrokes, making color choices particularly important. German art enjoyed a number of impressive Expressionist painters in the early 20th century and they can be considered partially abstract in their manner.
Kirchner became one of the leading lights in German Expressionism and was able to produce impressive figurative work with rough and loose brushwork which in previous centuries who have been deemed unfinished, just as the French Impressionists would experience. The path of abstractionism was a slow evolution, and so it is worth including Expressionists such as this in order to see the various stages of the evolution, and to understand the important of German artists in this change.

Joan Mitchell was a famous female Abstract Expressionist from the US who passed away as recently as the 1990s. She worked in an expressive manner, with gestured brushwork which reached a high level of abstraction. Her brisk, long brushstrokes would excite those knowledgeable on modern art, but those relatively unfamiliar might struggle to understand the purpose and meaning of her work 0 this was a constant issue within late 20th century art, and has continued into the 21st century.
Mitchell worked in a variety of mediums, including painting, printmaking and pastels and her work was memorable for often leaving elements of the original canvas or paper still visible. She became part of the New York School, which was highly significant within the history of American art and helped the country to lead Europeans for the first time. This advantage remains in place today, with New York continuing to be the centre of modern art.
Helen Frankenthaler was another notable female artist connected to the Abstract Expressionist. The New York native became part of the Color Field movement, and she has also sometimes been labelled as part of the lyrical abstraction style. Some of her work in the 1950s reminds us of the early work of Rothko, with expressive blocks of color resembling reality, but in an imaginative, abstract way. Later on both would become more abstract, with Rothko's later work becoming his best known output.
Willem de Kooning
Willem de Kooning was a much loved abstract painter from the Netherlands who later relocated to the US. He produced some memorable abstract portraits, where nightmarish figures could be distinguished from brisk, expressive brushstrokes. His approach is also sometimes known as Action Painting, where aggressive touches of paint connect with the emotions of the artist as they work quickly, and deliver images directly from the depths of their mind and soul.
Franz Kline was an American Action painter who settled in New York city during a key moment in the rise of American art. His work was abstract, often relying on simple arrangements of lines, with a greater meaning lying behind his work. Kline remains regarded as one of the leading members of the New York era, and continues to be celebrated today, despite passing away at a relatively young age. He was also well known to a number of other related artists from that period, and participated within the wider art community.
Josef Albers was a master of Geometric Abstraction and also formulated theories around the use of color within art, just as earlier abstract artists like Kandinsky and Klee had done. This German artist also impressed in other mediums, including stained glass windows and was not initially a modern artist. Geometric Abstractionism grew in popularity over time and is regarded as an important sub-movement of the overall modern art scene.
Cy Twombly was an important American painter who inspired the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat. He was to become a global star, exhibiting regularly in both the US as well as a number of European countries such as France, Italy and the UK. He worked in a truly abstract manner, when few could identify any connection to items from reality, and this brought him in for criticism initially, before later the quality of his work was better understood.
Howard Hodgkin was a British painter who worked in an abstract manner, with expressive, thick brushstrokes. He achieved success within the UK, even at a time when Abstract Expressionists were mainly working in New York, USA. He would later achieve the Turner Prize, a prestigious arts award, and he remains known as one of the leading British modern artists, only passing away relatively recently in London, 2017. Exhibitions of his work in the UK were common, marking the impact that he made across the country.
The Origins of Abstract Art and Abstractionism in Art
There were a number of different factors which led towards the rise of Abstractionsism in art during the early to mid 20th century. Photography was a discipline growing in interest at this time, and this brought about new ways of thinking in art, such as composition, angles, lighting and more. Additionally, the great masters of the Impressionist era would also bring about changes to the direction of European art which would later evolve into abstraction.
Following some of these developments, there would then be a number of small groups which emerged in the early 20th century which eventually would lead to a collective known as abstract art, or at least provide a precursor to it. This included neoplasticism which specifically and openly desired a movement towards abstraction, as well as the Russian Suprematism movement and the Bauhaus movement in Germany. All included theory behind their work, and it was clear that there was much thought behind abstract art, rather than merely providing a simple aesthetic display.
Predecessors and Influences: Abstract Elements in Traditional Art
Elements of abstract art appeared in many non-European cultures, a long time before westerners would start to use these ideas. Famously, African art provided abstracted figures in this paintings and sculptures, some of which would inspire the likes of Picasso, including in his approach to Cubism. Typically, African artists would reduce a human form to a small series of details, perhaps even elongating limbs in a manner later found in the Mannerists of the 16th century.
Besides African art, other examples of abstraction could also be found in Islamic art and architecture, partly due to their impressive understanding of geometry, but also in their use of calligraphy and other techniques which pushed them away from a desire to only depict items in an entirely realistic manner. The spread of cultures leading up to the 20th century is likely to have allowed some of these artistic ideas to spread across the globe, just as we see today through technology, which has facilitated a much faster spread of influences.
The Birth of Abstraction: The Early Pioneers
Most of the early pioneers of abstact art would evolve into the style over time, having initially worked in other ways earlier in their careers. One can even see a visual guide to these changes over time, with Piet Mondrian being a great example of that. He initially started to produce expressive tree paintings before becoming more and more abstract over time, building an audience as he went. Eventually, his scenes were reduced down to simple lines and colors, and by now his path to abstraction was complete.
A further example can be seen in the work of Kandinsky, who switched from an expressive manner, with the likes of The Blue Rider, before reaching a point where his paintings were complex series of lines and shapes. By then, color was his main concern, and he invested his time into producing color theories that others could learn from. There were also others such as Picasso who are not classed as abstract artists, but who started to use abstract forms in their work at around the same time, which encouraged others to work in a similar manner themselves.
Wassily Kandinsky and the Path to Pure Abstraction
Many consider Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstract art, though his obsession with color has a connection to his early use of Fauvist and Impressionist styles. Kandinsky eventually began to realise how color could be used in place of realistic form to represent something within art, and slowly he would start to move away from traditional methods. The artist would also begin to see how spiritual matters could be covered in art, but traditional styles would then suit it.
The artist would then embark on a journey which initially involved recognisable elements within an expressive format, before items became more and more abstract and disconnected from reality, before eventually his images were completely devoid of any connection to reality, other than in perhaps the mind of the artist himself - he had now reached the end point on a journey to full abstraction and his success would allow others to follow. They would not have to evolve in this manner, but could jump straight to the final stages.
Piet Mondrian and Neoplasticism (De Stijl): The Pursuit of Universal Harmony
Piet Mondrian desired a clear balance between elements in his painting and found the best way to achieve this was to reduce elements down to simple abstract shapes. His Neoplasticism (De Stijl) paintings tended to go with vertical and horizontal lines only, with diagonal lines being closer to nature, and a less harmonious display. Over time, Mondrian would create rectangular areas where his lines intersected, and these regions would be filled with flat, primary colors.
There would be many different approaches to abstraction, but Mondrian's was all about creating grid-like structures where balance was achieved through the use of lines and color. He loved nature, but depicted it earlier in his career when working in an expressive manner, before later showing influences of Cubism and then into other modern art forms.
Kazimir Malevich and Suprematism: Beyond the Object
There was a number of Russian avant-garde artists who inspired Malevich to come up with some forward thinking ideas within his own oeuvre. The artist desired a return to the zero degree of art, and immediately achieved it with classic works such as Black Square. He would continue in this format with different shapes and even one iteration which used white on white, with just a slight variation in tone.
Suprematism brought about more complex arrangements, but still were highly abstract. Rectangles and lines would vary in solid color, and it was clear by this point that Russian artist could help influence the direction of European art, even though they faced barriers within their own country. Many would relocate to central Europe or at least exhibit there regularly as they received a more welcoming reception in nations such as Germany.
Jackson Pollock and Action Painting: Capturing the Unconscious
Jackson Pollock's techniques were highly unusual and later became known as Action Painting. He would place large canvases and other materials across the floor before squirting and throwing paint on top in a seemingly random manner. He actually put much thought into things, including in color and also the way in which he applied the paint. The result of this process was original art every time that could never be replicated. Over time his contemporary style brought attention and backing, and Pollock remains one of the most famous abstract artists of all time.
Constructivism: Art as a Social and Political Force
Constructivism was formed by a number of Russian artists including Vladimir Tatlin, Alexander Rodchenko, and El Lissitzky. They saw existing art traditions as a luxury of the rich, and wanted to take things in a new direction that would allow other sections of society to get involved. They relied on geometric shapes for much of their work and also made use of all manner of materials including metal, glass, and plastics. Mixed media would later become a common feature within modern art but its inclusion at the time of Constructivism was ground-breaking.
Vladimir Tatlin and these related artists helped to bring art in everyday life, bringing functionality into elements of design. The movement was brought to an end by political issues in their native Russia, with Avant-Garde art quickly becoming seen as a challenge to authority, and something that needed to be stopped and discouraged. This situation continued later for the German Expressionists, and eventually a number of European painters who relocate to the US, which eventually became the global center of modern art.
Abstraction in Latin America: A Unique Perspective
European art influenced Latin Americans across the 20th century and eventually this would lead to a number of Latin American abstract artists appearing for the first time. They would take elements from Europe, but also implement a number of aspects unique to their own cultures, which included symbolism, religion, color and fashion. Artists such as Tomás Maldonado, Gyula Kosice, and Rhod Rothfuss were some of the bigger names to appear and there was also a number of muralists who experimented with abstraction, such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco.
Lygia Clark, Hélio Oiticica, and Lygia Pape within Brazil were connected to installation art and became known as the Concrete Art movement, which was a highly modern art style which combined many elements, including European abstract art. It must be remembered that originally, Europeans were inspired by ideas from abroad, and so this cycle would just continue again and again, speeding up after the rise of technology in the second half of the century.
African American Artists and Abstract Expressionism
In an interesting development, considering its origins, many African American artists would become involved with abstract art across the 20th century. It was useful for political messaging which was common in much of their work. Abstract art was originally inspired, in part, by African art, and so this evolution seemed entirely organic. It is highly unfortunate that many suffered in the art world, just as they did elsewhere in society but over time more and more African American artists have been given more opportunity to display their talents, with likely further improvements on the way in the future.
Norman Lewis, Alma Thomas, Ed Clark, Bob Thompson, and Jack Whitten are some of the great names to research on this topic, and it would be wrong to categorise them too restrictively, when they obviously each held many unique strengths which together helped to build momentum for African American artists in the US. Jean Michel-Basquiat became perhaps the most famous of all, and his legacy is huge, becoming a much loved figure with younger generations in particular.
Women Artists and Abstract Art: Challenging the Male Dominance
There was a large number of female painters to appear in the Impressionist era, and from that momvement, so other women would start to appear in the other styles that followed. In terms of abstract art, we remember the likes of Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler, who were all Abstract Expressionists. Aside from that there were many other famous female painters spread across a number of other offshoots of abstract art. Georgia O'Keeffe brought attention to the beauty of flowers and animal bones, in new Modernist forms.
Hilma af Klint was also a key contributor in the use of geometry and simple shapes within art, though her impact has not been truly understood until relatively recently. Agnes Martin, Bridget Riley, Carmen Herrera are some of the new breed of women who continue to influence the direction of modern art. Curators have been more willing, even proactive, in displaying more of their work over the last two decades, which may encourage more women to become involved in the industry over the next few generations.
Digital Abstract Art: Technology as a New Medium
Advances in technology have brought new opportunities to artists. Firstly, those from outside the main art centers can now bring exposure to their work, by sharing paintings and drawings on social media or via email. Artists can even work collaboratively whilst being located in different places, taking on existing work as and when they like. Tablets and sometimes mobile phones can be used to draw various creations, with editing options enabling artists to correct work easily. Exhibitions of work completed using these tools are now fairly common, and support for these tools is growing.
The newest development has been with AI art, which potentially will enable non-artists to create original work themselves, using just a few prompts. This may lead to some issues regarding integrity and quality, but there could also be many benefits to this, as well as increasing productivity for those working in the commercial site of art, such as professional illustrators. It is important that AI is used as a tool, rather than as a replacement for creativity and technical knowledge, otherwise the respect afforded artists may be lost.
Everyday photography has been a respected art discipline for many years, but also counts as an art form reliant on technology. The inclusion of cameras in phones has enabled anyone to take photographs when on the move, though quality naturally varies. For many photography can be an entrance into the art world, and overall its benefits out weight its negatives.
The Future of Abstract Art: Trends and Innovations
The future of abstract art looks exciting, with many potential innovations waiting to appear. Despite abstract art first emerging in the early 20th century, it remains strong today, albeit under different guises. Technology is likely to impact all forms of art, and that will play a role in the next methods in which abstract art appears, as well as modern art more generally. Globally, there should be a wider spread of artists and potentially many more cultures will become involved in abstraction, as the use of the internet increases connectivity across the world.

Samuel John Peploe RSA 1871 - 1935
Scottish painter, the oldest of the Scottish Colourists. He lived almost all his life in Edinburgh, but he often visited France, studied briefly at the Académie Julian, and made his home in Paris, 1910–13. During this time in Paris he moved from an Impressionist style to one influenced by Cézanne and the Fauves, but later his work became less aggressively modern. In the 1920s he frequently visited the island of Iona, which—together with still-life—was his favourite subject.
He studied at the Royal Scottish Academy schools from 1893 to 1894, and then at the Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi in Paris, where he shared a room with Robert Brough. He visited the Netherlands in 1895, returning with reproductions of work by Rembrandt and Frans Hals. From 1901, he undertook painting trips to northern France and the Hebrides with his friend J. D. Fergusson, another of the Scottish Colourists. Inspired by the bright sunlight, he experimented with the bold use of colour, and the influence of the rustic realism of French painters is evident in his landscapes.

Julian Hatton is a New York City artist who paints abstract landscapes in rich, earthy colors. His pedigree is Northeast preppy (Phillips Academy ’74 and Harvard ’79), but he studied painting in France and Spain. His scenes are comprised of naif shapes in blocky chunks, as though chiseled from hunks of Cray-Pas, with a perspective that runs straight up the page. For this week’s CMYLK, we paired Colourlovers palettes with three of his landscapes.

John Callow was a marine and landscape painter. He was a pupil of his elder brother William, who took him to Paris in 1835 where he studied for several years. In 1844 he returned to England and started up as a landscape painter in watercolours. In 1855 he was appointed Professor of Drawing in the Royal Military Academy at Addiscombe, and six years later he took the post of Sub-Professor of Drawing at Woolwich. Some years later he retired and painted for exhibitions as well as taking pupils. He excelled in marine painting more than landscapes. He exhibited yearly at the OWS and RA, BI, SS and NWS.


I was raised in Huntsville by a professional artist and received much of my art training at UAH. I have been an artist and painter since I was old enough to hold a brush, and although I can and do use oils and watercolors, acrylic is my paint of choice. In 2013 I discovered very high quality scratchboard material made by Ampersand and when I tried it, I became addicted to scratchboard and have since worked in that medium exclusively. Many hours of work go into each scratchboard before it is considered finished. Sometimes colored inks or acrylic paints are applied over the scratchwork, often the colored layer is also scratched to build depth into the composition. It is a very satisfying form of art for me and a great outlet for my creativity. I consider my work neo-photorealism.


This original acrylic painting by Marion Dutton captures the essence of a winter day in Last Tram to Verbano. The painting shows a group of travellers standing around the station, waiting to board the last tram to Verbano. The cold grey winter day is depicted with snow falling, creating an almost monochromatic scene. The only splash of color comes from the red umbrella and coat of one of the travellers, adding a touch of vibrancy to the painting. This piece is a beautiful representation of a fleeting moment in time, frozen in acrylic.
Last Tram to Verbano
The painting is meticulously varnished, signed, and all set for framing. Additionally, it includes a signed certificate of authenticity attached at the back and a second signed certificate presented in a protective folder, making it a cherished keepsake.

When I decided to paint this, I was working on a large full size self-portrait along with my son’s dog, Lily next to me. I got frustrated with my attention to detail so decided to do a small work to free up and this is what resulted.
I feel this has captured something of me and my personality. I preferred this one. Mind you the Brittany Spaniel in my self-portrait was lovely.

Anxiety and stress can play havoc with one’s mind and who better than Irina Cumberland, a painter born in Ukraine, to know this. There was a time in her life when her hands literally shook from stress in her waking hours till she dozed off in a shallow nightmarish sleep.
This happened, when this artist, who was finishing her eight years of medical training in Ukraine, got married and moved to the United States with her husband. She had to cope with the anxiety of settling in a new country, leaving her family and friends behind, not to mention, sacrificing her medical career. It was then that war broke out in her country and the worry about her family’s safety and not being able to do anything about it raised her stress level even further.
To calm her mind, Irina started frequenting the beaches. She explains on her website, “I watched the ocean’s steady movement in and out, the glittering light dancing on the surface, the tiny rainbows reflecting off the sand – lulling me into a peace that I’d never experienced before.” The waves and sea had such calming effect on her mind that she decided to capture its beauty on canvas. The result was her painting that she titled ‘No War’. This handmade painting became popular in no time.
Irina found that her paintings of the sea gave her the same kind of mental peace and calmness, as the actual sea did. She developed a painting style that reproduced the naturally occurring patterns and colors of the sea on canvas. So realistic are her paintings that it is difficult to distinguish them from photographs. According to her, each painting is designed to maximize the calming effects of shapes, colors, and scenery.
The reason for this calming effect of her paintings lay in fractals, that is, a pattern that repeats itself, such as ocean waves, snowflakes, trees, et al. Fractals reduced stress in people. Today, her paintings not only serve as stress busters but also earn money for her. You can find Irina Cumberland’s art for sale on her website.

Luna Lovegood ~ Palette 7. Suggested by cascelestial
I finally finished my class work I had to do over semester’s break that meant painting turned out a little short lately. I hope to work a little more the last fortnight that I’ve got left.
This painting was much more difficult than I thought, because the palette was really good for Luna actually… but I still have trouble working with such little contrast in color values.
I’m really happy Luna was suggested as I wanted to do something Harry Potter in forever and also I like her dreamy-ness (which I tried to capture a little here) and quality to not care what others think about her.
So anyway, I hope you like it :3

Piuhh~ finally it’s done! This one was trickier than expected, as I’ve got about 0% practice with cartoony faces at all. I hope I haven’t overdone the background. The glow was made with layer blend modes again, I’ve decided that it’s still conform to the color meme challenge ;)
When I got the suggestion I had lots of different ideas for her but seriously with this palette how could I not make something like one of the lantern scenes?! ♥
I hope you like it! Feel free to check out the color meme post and send me some suggestions ;)

Here is the first color meme painting! :) Turned out better than I feared in the early stages. Though it took much longer than intended. Then again, most of my paintings do.
I cheated a little on the bokeh and used a different blend mode (I think that’s what they are called…) otherwise it would look rather dull… :0

Basic Color theory
A little basic color theory wil help you to make your first improvements in painting. On one hand, it's about taste and subjective judgement, but at the same time it's really a kind of science. Check here for an more poetic approach to color, Goethean color theory), and scroll down for direct painting tips. Click here to find a guide on mixing colors.
Click here for info
The most important thing in learning color theory is: learning to see. Someone has to tell you how and where to look. Recently I found a basic color theory course that offers exactly this help: a step-by-step visual course with visual aids for your own study, for every step you learn. Once you know how and where to look, the colors of your painting will become easily manageable. Click on the picture, or scroll down for more - there's basic color theory on this page, and on the bottom more info on the recommended course.
The color wheel
You already know the basics of color theory once you know the color wheel. In this wheel there are three colors you can't mix: red, yellow and blue (indicated by the arrows outside the wheel). On the color wheel, you can see how you can mix the other colors with them. If you pick two colors that are close to each other on the color wheel, they'll mix into the color in between. So, red and yellow mix to orange, magenta and blue mix to violet, yellow and blue mix to green - check here for examples. Sometimes red is replaced by magenta (strong pink), which gives a slightly different mixing result. If you like pure violets, magenta is a better option.
When you take two colors that are further apart, the colors will be more muddy. And when you mix two colors that are opposite in the color wheel, the result will be greyish-black. The figures on the wheel indicate, what colors visually 'balance each other out'. They're good base colors, for starting a painting.
Contrasting colors are colors opposite in the color wheel. They make each other look stronger, because they summon up each other. Grey accents on a red brick wall will take on a blue appearance - not only to your eye, also to a digital camera. Check here for a visual example of this kind of contrast.
These are contrasting colors:
Yellow and blue-violet
Orange and cobalt blue
Vermillion-red and turquoise
Magenta and green
The funny thing is: if you mix these colors, they destroy each other - they turn into a muddy-blackish grey. When you have a pretty strong yellow, and add violet, the paint color can seem to look lighter than before because the power of the yellow is broken. But side by side, they make each others color stronger. It works in all kinds of colors, no matter if the colors are strong or really weak. So:
- If the contrast is too strong (shouting colors that hurt the eye), add a bit of one color to the other and vice versa, they'll tone down and become bearable
- The blackish grey, mixed from contrasting colors (that are in the same painting) makes the best black for that painting.
- If you want to have a pure white on a red background, add just a little bit of the same red to it, to prevent it from taking on a green appearance
- Brown accents on a blue background will look warm and radiating, because the "orangeness" is pulled forward by the blue.
- Grey accents on warm reds or red-browns will look either fresh and cool blueish, or greenish (depending on the kind of red)
- Check here for more on contrast
When you see a colored object, not all parts of it are equally dark. Some parts are highlighted, others are in the shade. This light-and-darkness is called "value". The easiest way to paint a red car, is to take black, red and white. Carefully analyze the car: where do you see light spots, where the dark spots? For the darker spots you mix some black through the red, for the highlights, you add much white. Hazy bits have some more grey. But too much grey will take away the color. More advanced painters will use a mixed grey or a dark green by the way - but for learning value, black is OK.
A car is difficult of course, so maybe it's better to start with something more simple, let's say a red cubicle. (in fact: this is one of the excercises you can find in the color theory tutorial on the bottom of this page). Scroll down for this dvd-course on basic color theory. The same thing goes for a wall color: one kind of paint color won't look the same under different lighting conditions. So, in a darker room you need to use lighter colors than in a light room, to get the same color effect. You can even use this feature to suggest light that's not even there, if you like.
Another thing with value: all hues have their own value. Yellow is a light color, and violet is dark one. So, making yellow dark may need some extra yellow ochre or brown to bridge the gap to black. But now we're moving from basic color theory to more advanced.
Saturation means, how much color is there in you colors? A cadmium or phtalo red straight out of the tube will be very saturated. If you use it pure, the other colors on your painting need to be very saturated too, to keep the balance. This is fine when you like bold colors - but if it gest to loud, you need to de-saturate. For de-saturating colors, you add grey, or a contrasting color and white. Mixing your own greys, from the colors on your palette, make better greys than just black-and-white.
Color balance is about a sense of equilibrium. In realistic painting, colors need to be in balance. If the reds are strong, the blues should be strong too, unless you want the red to look artificial or fiery. Really strong blues in sky or water only look nice, if there's warm orange in the painting too - if not, it will look artificial. There's not fixed recipe for this - just try to look at your painting and "sense" if it's in balance. This is a matter of educated guess, but you can calculate a bit. If one color is too strong, you can either make the other one stronger too, or tone the strongest one down.
Basic color theory tutorial
Mastering Color by Richard Robinson
The most important thing in learning color theory is: learning to actually see colors. I found a good course that can help you in this. Before learning hue, value and saturation you'll first learn to actually see and define colors, and the way they optically interact.
This is done with the help of great visuals and a few seemingly simple but very effective tools. The course is in DVD and printables - both contain excellent and unique visuals and color exercises. With this course, beginners can get to semi-advanced in a limited timespan. This course is actually praised by people who have been painting for more than ten years. But due to Richard's teaching capacities, it's an entry level for beginners as well.
Richard was a graphic designer before he started painting, and graphic designers know color and photoshop like no other creative professions. When he started to teach painting, and develop his own lesson plans, he researched all the major color theory methods around, and composed that into his DVD course on color. Richard's paintings show that he really understands and loves the light, which gives his realistic painting style a very contemporary touch
The course is available in downloadables and ready-made dvd and printing. It consist of 2 hours DVD, text and pictures, and a very good set of tools, that really enable quick learning.

I’ve recently finished two new paintings in my In Our Veins series. Encroach is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ by 6.” It serves as a subtle commentary on human intervention in nature while illustrating the connection of the natural world to all life. Reciprocal is the latest addition to the smaller series of paintings within In Our Veins. It is also an acrylic on canvas, 4″ by 4.” Reciprocal conveys the connection to nature by linking flora and fauna and uses the ribbon to continue the recent theme exploring anonymity versus connection.
In The Wild West, a skeletal horse and human hybrid, suggesting our practices of genetic manipulation, serves as a grim tale of foreboding. The skeleton, the horse skull, and the desert are symbols of cowboys and typical Western imagery. Television Westerns would typically portray life as good vs. bad, when in reality, the land, environment, people, and animals were all seen as a means to an end. The title refers to how the U.S., itself a part of the western hemisphere, is still taking over land, animals, and resources to this day, creating desert landscapes via clear-cutting and global warming.
I will have work in the upcoming “Emerging to Established” group exhibition at Krause Gallery in New York, NY in January 2017. The exhibit opens January 7th, 2017 with a reception from 6-8pm and will remain up through January 31st.
I’ve recently finished three new paintings in my In Our Veins series. Two of which are from my smaller, 4″ by 4″ paintings. I was particularly interested in doing a piece on forest clear-cutting because it is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of global warming. The smaller paintings, Inseparable and Evanescence, are in reference to the connection of all life, which is the overarching theme of this series. View the paintings online: http://amyguidry.com/clear-cut.html, http://amyguidry.com/inseparable.html, and http://amyguidry.com/evanescence.html.
This week is the last week of my exhibit at LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans. My series, In Our Veins, is on view in the Main Gallery of LeMieux now through September 24th. You can also catch Lee Deigaard’s series, Near and Far.
I’ve had some great response to this body of work, including a feature in American Art Collector Magazine’s September 2016 issue. And Paul Bentley of the New Orleans magazine, Where Y’At, gave me a great review stating: “…Her dreamlike landscapes with animal, human, and natural forms mixing and dancing with each other create beautiful images that seem to be more than just a mere neo-surrealist tribute to Dali or O’Keefe. Her paintings create a dialogue with her obvious predecessors and influences, but they retain an original, calming, eerie, and downright intelligent attitude to them.”
More information on this exhibit can be found on LeMieux’s website.
I’ve finally finished my large painting as well as a couple of smaller pieces. All three are the latest in my In Our Veins series. The first is titled On the Rise and is an acrylic on canvas, 10″ wide by 20″ high. This piece was created in an effort to raise awareness of the plight of animals in the Arctic. Next is Arise, also an acrylic on canvas, 6″ by 6″ square. The skull serves as a landscape for wild horses, linking humans and animals. Lastly is the latest addition to the smaller paintings, Stem, which is 4″ by 4.” The deer wears a wreath of roses, representing their connection to each other and all of nature. View all three paintings online here: On the Rise, Arise, and Stem.
I am currently working on some new small paintings, one of which is this 4″ by 4,” acrylic on canvas. This is the initial rough layer of paint with some detail added to the ocean and sky. The finished painting will be posted here soon. In the meantime, check out the rest of the series here.
I’ve just finished two new paintings in my In Our Veins series. The first is titled Ascension, an acrylic on canvas, 8″ wide by 8″ high. The second painting is part of my smaller series at 4″ by 4.” The title is Evolution and it’s also an acrylic on canvas. View the paintings online here and here.


Paint professionals know that paint as well as coatings play a essential role in the green building fad sweeping the country today. Because of the decline in building and construction produced by the economic crisis, the environment-friendly building suggestion is settling and getting larger interest from construction stakeholders who not only value a non-polluting and eco-friendly approach of construction, but likewise welcome the significant price decreases to building and construction jobs.
The construction market’s passion in green structure projects difficulties repaint suppliers and also their resources distributors to ingeniously create environment-friendly paint items and materials that follow atmosphere criteria without giving up top quality performance. The products are currently populating the marketplace, all set to be utilized by paint contractors in many facility jobs.
Environment-Friendly Paints and Coatings
The outcome of paint makers’ paint reformulation efforts appears in the large range of green paints that painting specialists can picked from. One item is a result of many years of polymer research study bring about a brand-new and better latex paint that eliminates using harmful solvents. Without the addition of such damaging solvents, air top quality is maintained throughout and after painting application projects, protecting paint professionals as well as constructing lessees at the same time.
The presence of VOCs or unstable natural substances is likewise a significant ecological trouble in normal paints. VOCs are hazardous materials to the setting, polluting the air as well as creating health risks to people. To address this problem, paint makers make it one of their rigid objectives to create brand-new products that contain little to zero VOCs.
One more layer technology is the mixture of water-repellent characteristics to exterior finishes, resulting in a “self-cleaning” feature where dirt as well as water particles merely slide off the repainted surfaces, leaving the building surface area tidy as well as unsusceptible soiling and also the results of the climate. The building surface area remains completely dry and maintains its shade over longer periods of time.
Environment-friendly Raw Products
Raw material vendors have actually additionally been hectic looking into and also developing environment-friendly materials. A new line of solution polymers, as an example, help paint producers develop low-VOC and also low-odor paints without the aid of damaging coalescents.
As with paint makers, basic material distributors are established to lower VOC in paints, for this reason a wide variant of low-VOC resources have actually emerged, from zero-formaldehyde remedies as well as neutral-PH wet-state preservatives, to multi-purpose additives and completely dry films that satisfy the requirements for environment-friendly paints.
Providers take VOC compliance to cutting-edge levels with environment-friendly ingredients designed for all sorts of finish applications, along with shorten the application and drying out time of paints, to the advantage of paint contractors and also developing homeowners. Biocidal products that contain practically zero natural solvents are also one more location of improvement, enabling paint to be manufactured much more safely as well as simpler to use by painting service providers.
Eco-friendly Structure from Green Paint
Almost-zero VOC solutions that are less-harmful during paint production, application, and post-application are of extremely important significance not only to repaint makers as well as raw material providers, however also to paint professionals, structure owners as well as lessees. Even minute traces of VOCs should have no area in paint services to abide by eco-friendly criteria and make certain the building’s stability and sustainability.
The need for eco-friendly buildings is driving painting professionals to make use of only green paints and coatings. In response, paint suppliers and also their vendors establish environmentally friendly paints constructed out of environmentally-safe materials. These split reactions allow for a successful application of the green structure fad to most business and domestic facilities in the nation.

Paul Signac had two great passions: painting, and boats. Whenever possible, Signac enthusiastically combined these two passions, relishing every chance that he had to paint the great ports and maritime cities of Europe, to which he would often sale in his own boat. Painted in 1909, Constantinople (Corne d'Or), shows ships both under sail and at anchor, a busy scene of commerce at the meeting place of the European and Asian continents. In 1907, Signac travelled from Venice to Constantinople by train in the company of the painter Henry Person. Signac was enthusiastic about both the country and the people, noting in his sketchbook 'I have seen things and men, both admirable and new, something which is rare!' (quoted in Signac, exh. cat., Musée du Louvre, Paris, p. 80). He was also dazzled by the 'shrouded northen light against a background of Oriental colour. One thinks somewhat of London, Rotterdam, or Venice. Above all, it is Turnerian' (quoted in F. Cachin, Paul Signac, Milan, 1971, p. 95).
Constantinople (Corne d'Or) shows the artist capturing the light effects of the great city through his Neo-Impressionist means. In the foreground is the busy shipping lane of the Corne d'Or (The Golden Horn), the historic stretch of water which divides the city and the European and Asian continents. Signac's view of the city is taken from the Asian side, or European quarter, looking across the water to the port, the skyline is dominated by the great mosques of Aya Sofya, Sultanahmed, and Suleymaniye. The painterly surface of Constantinople (Corne d'Or) reveals the free handling of the artist, who had a love of oils that surpassed his love of Pointillism. As a self-taught painter, Signac revelled in being an instinctual painter, and this resulted in an increasing exuberance in his works, expecially after the death of his friend and mentor, the more rigidly scientific Seurat.
In Constantinople (Corne d'Or) we see the truth of his assertion that aesthetics, rather than science, were important to him: 'The division is a complex system of harmony, an aesthetic rather than a technique. The point is but a means' (Signac, D'Eugène Delacroix au néo-impressionnisme, ed. F. Cachin, Paris 1978, p. 119). In Constantinople (Corne d'Or) the artist presents the viewer with an image of the Golden Horn, the mosques, and sailing ships, that is filled with joy, with a pure enthusiasm for the scene in all its aspects: this area is intense with action, with boats, while the light effects of the sky and the sun beaming down onto the mosques pose intriguing challenges for the artist, one for which he is more than a match.
As one of the leading members of the Neo-Impressionists, Signac influenced the next generation of artists. He influenced Henri Matisse and André Derain in particular, thus playing a decisive role in the evolution of Fauvism. The year before the present work was painted, in 1908, Signac was appointed president of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, and was therefore in an influential position to promote the controversial works of the Fauves and Cubists, but continued to send his works abroad to be viewed by a international audience. At the close of 1909, when the present work was painted, Signac exhibited three pieces at the International Exhibition, better known as Ier Salon d'Odessa, organised by Vladimir Izdebski, who after the revolution in 1917, organised the Salon de Paris in Moscow. The three works, which were Fanal de Traghetto (Cachin no. 416), Diablerets and Port de Saint-Tropez pavoisé (not listed in Cachin), were shown in Kiev, St. Petersburg and Riga.
Since its purchase from the celebrated Paris gallery, Bernheim-Jeune, in the early 20th Century, Constantinople (Corne d'Or) has only been offered at auction twice before now, in 1927 and 1961. The work appears to have been purchased shortly after it was painted in 1909, by Dr Marcel Norero, who bought paintings by Signac from Galerie Druet and, as is most likely with the present work, from Galerie Bernheim-Jeune. In addition to this canvas, Françoise Cachin lists in her catalogue raisonné, three other paintings by Signac owned by Dr Marcel Norero: Saint-Briac. La Garde Guérin (207), Le port (soir). Couchant rouge (St Tropez) (446) and La Bonne Mère. Marseille (462); works dating from 1890 to 1909. The first and last of these, as well as Constantinople (Corne d'Or), were included in the vente Norero held at Hôtel Drouot on 14 February 1927. When looking at the artists represented in Dr Norero's sale; Bonnard, Cross, Braque, Derain, it is apparent that like Signac, Dr Norero was also a supporter of the Paris avant-garde.

German-born American Hudson River School Painter, 1830-1902
Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Germany. His family moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1833. He studied painting with the members of the D??sseldorf School in D??sseldorf, Germany from 1853 to 1857. He taught drawing and painting briefly before devoting himself to painting.
Bierstadt began making paintings in New England and upstate New York. In 1859, he traveled westward in the company of a Land Surveyor for the U.S. government, returning with sketches that would result in numerous finished paintings. In 1863 he returned west again, in the company of the author Fitz Hugh Ludlow, whose wife he would later marry. He continued to visit the American West throughout his career.
Though his paintings sold for princely sums, Bierstadt was not held in particularly high esteem by critics of his day. His use of uncommonly large canvases was thought to be an egotistical indulgence, as his paintings would invariably dwarf those of his contemporaries when they were displayed together. The romanticism evident in his choices of subject and in his use of light was felt to be excessive by contemporary critics. His paintings emphasized atmospheric elements like fog, clouds and mist to accentuate and complement the feel of his work. Bierstadt sometimes changed details of the landscape to inspire awe. The colors he used are also not always true. He painted what he believed is the way things should be: water is ultramarine, vegetation is lush and green, etc. The shift from foreground to background was very dramatic and there was almost no middle distance
Nonetheless, his paintings remain popular. He was a prolific artist, having completed over 500 (possibly as many as 4000) paintings during his lifetime, most of which have survived. Many are scattered through museums around the United States. Prints are available commercially for many. Original paintings themselves do occasionally come up for sale, at ever increasing prices.

As a seventeen-years-old boy, he participated in the January Uprising. He was educated at the Warsaw Drawing School initially, but then received a government scholarship in 1867 and went to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. He became one of the leading painters of the Munich realistic school. Initially best known for this battle paintings, he also created many landscape paintings, especially of southern Poland, which he visited several times.
Successful western Europe completely, he did not gain approval nor popularity in Poland of the 19th century, although he sent paintings to exhibitions in Warsaw regularly from 1968 on. He did however win awards at exhibitions in Munich (1869) and in Berlin (1872).
Italian Neoclassical Painter, ca.1758-1823,Italian painter and draughtsman. He was a prolific painter who, with a team of artists and craftsmen, decorated palaces and public buildings in Rome, Venice, many cities in Emilia Romagna (especially Faenza), and in France. He worked in a distinctive Neo-classical style, creating sumptuous, richly coloured rooms, the paintings on walls and ceilings being surrounded with a wealth of antique ornament. Despite the turbulent era of revolution and war (1789-1815) he never lacked commissions, for which he chose subjects from the literature and history of Greece and Rome that were symbolic both for him and for his patrons.
