This is a Series that I have working on executing for a very long time.
I will be adding this Series along with my Art Museum Collection Series
for my daily works. I have had several recent requests and commissions
for my blue nudes so I thought this would be a good time to get this
series started. Many of the paintings are inspired by beautiful statues
at Forest Lawn Park and photographed by my friend Jeff Lowe
who was kind enough to give his permission to use his photos
for reference for my derivative Series of Expressionism which I have
named
Expressionism in Blue
Communication Through Emotion
Thanks Jeff.
Enjoy!

My Love of
Expressionism
A term used to denote the use of distortion and exaggeration for emotional effect, which first surfaced in the art literature of the early twentieth century. When applied in a stylistic sense, with reference in particular to the use of intense color, stylized brush strokes, and disjointed space as in sometimes painting empty space to create form.
More generally the term refers to art that expresses intense emotion. It is arguable that all artists are expressive but there is a long line of art production in which heavy emphasis is placed on communication through emotion. Such art often occurs during time of social upheaval, and through the tradition of graphic art there is a powerful and moving record of chaos in Europe from the 15th century on the Protestant Reformation, Peasants' War, Eight Years' War, Spanish Occupation of the Netherlands, the rape, pillage and disaster associated with countless periods of chaos and oppression are presented in the documents of the printmaker. Often the work is unimpressive aesthetically, but almost without exception has the capacity to move the viewer to strong emotions with the drama and often horror of the scenes depicted.
The term was also coined by Czech art historian Antonín Matějček in 1910 as the opposite of impressionism: "An Expressionist wishes, above all, to express himself....[An Expressionist rejects] immediate perception and builds on more complex psychic structures....Impressions and mental images that pass through mental peoples soul as through a filter which rids them of all substantial accretions to produce their clear essence and are assimilated and condense into more general forms, into types. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressionism
