Question
How did the American Luminist painters influence American Impressionist painters?
Greetings Julie,
The American Luminists were similar to the Romantic landscape painters. Many American Luminists 'became' American Impressionists, once the French Impressionists gained a reputation for flauting academic standards. The younger generation mjumped on teh bandwagon.
For Luminism, you'll want to investigate Fitz Hugh Lane, Martin J. Heade, Jasper Francis Cropsey, and members of the Hudson River School. Three major figures of the American Impressionist group were Julian Alden Weir, John Henry Twachtman, and Childe Hassam.
Best wishes, sincerely,
J Heuman

| Comment | Thank you! With your help, I was able to start searching the web, and I finally found what I was looking for: the artist is Damien Hirst, and the painting I was trying (unsuccessfully) to describe is called "Valium," created in 2000. Your answer was really great in that it gave me a starting point for searching the web. Thanks a lot! Tally (gizmo1@netvision.net.il) | ||
