Description | |
This is a 16 x 20 inch oil painting on masonite by me. It is signed by me in the lower left corner. The subject is the famous Apache chief "Geronimo". He was one of the last chiefs to be subdued by the U.S. Army. He and his small group of resistance fighters turned themselves in to the Army cavalry in 1886. The painting was done from an old black & white photo of him taken in the 1880's. I hope you enjoy the painting. |

Same Style Impressionism |
|
An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise. |
