Impasto: is one of the most famous and often-mentioned artistic techniques employed in order to create texture and volume on a flat canvas. The artist applies paint in thick strokes of a brush or a palette knife, leaving three-dimensional lumps behind. Due to its structure and consistency, oil paint is the most popular medium for impasto. Other paints like acrylic or tempera require additional viscosity-creating materials. The technique of impasto has been known to artists since the earliest days of oil painting. In particular, Rembrandt van Rijn was known for his thick and textured layers of paint. However, the most famous instances of impasto belong to the artists of Modernity who used texture for additional emotional and sensory impact. In the Expressionist works of Gerhard Richter and Frank Auerbach, the impasto layers are so thick that flat paintings almost turn into three-dimensional sculptures, challenging traditional labels.

WATTEAU (1648-1721) : Jean-Antoine Watteau was arguably the greatest French painter of the 18th-century, a transitional figure between Baroque art and the Roccoco style that followed. He emphasized color and movement, structuring his compositions so that they almost resembled theater scenes, but it was the atmospheric quality of his work that would become highly influential for artists like J.M.W Turner and the Impressionists.

SALVADOR DALI (1904 - 1989) Salvador Dali's extraordinary imagination and eccentric personality made him one of the most recognizable figures in the art world. Known for his mind-bending and dreamlike creations, Dali's artwork explored the realm of the subconscious and challenged the conventional notions of reality. Dali employed meticulous detail and rendering techniques to create striking and often bizarre imagery. Beyond his art, Dali's flamboyant personality, signature mustache, and theatrical antics further cemented his status as a cultural icon. His contributions to the surrealist movement on and off the canvas have secured his place as one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century.

The Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso, was a modern painter who through his unique artistic style inspired generations of artists to follow in his footsteps. Picasso changed the very definition of classic art by introducing concepts such as collaging and Cubism. His distinctive take on the creation of art in every medium makes him one of, if not the most, impactful artists in the world of art itself. Some of his most famous works include Guernica, Bird of Peace, and Woman with Fan.

Amy Phipps Guest had a pioneer spirit—she aspired to be an aviatrix. Those plans were nixed, but that did not prevent her from bankrolling flights by Amelia Earhart. She also was a big supporter of women’s suffrage, putting her own money to work in the effort to win women the right to vote. You see a lot of that determination and passion in her expression. Sargent was known for his fabulous cache of objets d’art, architectural fragments, tapestries and furnishings. In this painting, he depicts Amy Phipps Guest standing before a backdrop evocative of the 18th century that would be at home in any painting by Thomas Gainsborough, with an ornamental balustrade and other details picked out in his loose brushwork. That backdrop helps establish Phipps Guest as a member of the American aristocracy, thanks to those classical elements, which would have been at home on any of the estates of the landed gentry in England, where the portrait was painted.

Channeling M.C. Escher and the Droste effect, more broadly, a Chicago-based artist has been painting portraits of himself painting portraits of himself. Seamus Wray, who’s appeared in a similar project shared on Colossal, began with a single representation (shown above) and mirrored his pose in a photograph of the work. He then repeated that process five times, which resulted in a recursive, mixed-media series that changes slightly with each iteration—two cats make an appearance in the final portraits. Wray hopes the potentially infinite project begs the questions, “What comes next? Another painting. Are we all just living in a painting? What if this is a painting, within a painting?… I have painted hundreds of self-portraits over the years, and this seemed to be a natural progression from those, as I seem to be going mad painting myself, painting myself,” he tells Colossal.

Nighthawks’ by Edward Hopper is often recognised as one of the most famous artworks of 20th century America. The painting depicts a midnight scene of ‘Phillies’ diner, inside which 4 anonymous figures can be seen; 2 men, 1 woman and a bartender. ‘Nighthawks’ is often read as an exploration of human existentialism and loneliness in the modern age. The figures feel distant and disconnected from each other which is reflected by the viewer's literal distance from the interior scene which is separated by a bending glass exterior with no clear entrance. Although Hopper has said the painting does not specifically explore loneliness, he said of the work, “unconsciously, probably, I was painting the loneliness of a large city.”

Detail of a butterfly in Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884). The painting has been interpreted as revealing the essence of modern existence and its double-edged sword of social spectacle and isolation. A butterfly hovering in the middle left of the painting reinforces this reading. A symbol of fragility, during the Industrial Revolution the butterfly was used in art as motif for the environmental and social consequences of progress. Indeed, this scene of bourgeoise leisure had only recently been enabled by the factory life existing just beyond the painting’s frame. The painting, which has been in the Art Institute of Chicago since the 1920s, continues to fascinate modern audiences, making pop-culture cameos in The Simpsons and a famously pivotal scene in the classic enjoy-your-life film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Renoir, Luncheon of the Boating Party,1880 In this painting, Renoir celebrates good company, good food, good wine, and good nature. We are in a place where both nature and human nature are calm and gentle; there’s no room for darkness in Renoir’s sunny world. The setting is a restaurant on an island in the Seine at Chatou, a few miles outside of Paris (the river is visible in the upper left background). This is the heart of Impressionist leisure-land: not far up-river is the sailing centre of Argenteuil, featured in the paintings of Monet, Manet, and Caillebotte; just downriver is the swimming place of La Grenouillère, where Monet and Renoir inaugurated the Impressionist era in 1869. Rowing was the main attraction for wealthy Parisians at Chatou, and Renoir’s diners wear the straw hats and blue dresses that were the fashionable boating attire of middle-class Parisian day-trippers. For like many Impressionist paintings, this is a completely middle-class image.

Woman with a Parasol was painted outdoors, probably in a single session of several hours' duration. The artist intended the work to convey the feeling of a casual family outing rather than a formal portrait, and used pose and placement to suggest that his wife and son interrupted their stroll while he captured their likenesses. The brevity of the moment portrayed here is conveyed by a repertory of animated brushstrokes of vibrant color, hallmarks of the style Monet was instrumental in forming. Bright sunlight shines from behind Camille to whiten the top of her parasol and the flowing cloth at her back, while colored reflections from the wildflowers below touch her front with yellow.

Monet – The Artist’s Garden at Giverny In the near centre of the composition we can see a glimpse of the artist’s house, reminding us that Monet did not have to travel far for inspiration. This painting acts as an example of how we can use the resources that are available to us and that creativity can lie as close as the garden outside our homes.

The Kiss (German: Der Kuss) is an oil-on-canvas painting with added gold leaf, silver and platinum by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt.[3] It was painted at some point in 1907 and 1908, during the height of what scholars call his "Golden Period".[citation needed] It was exhibited in 1908 under the title Liebespaar (the lovers)[4] as stated in the catalogue of the exhibition. The painting depicts a couple embracing each other, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. The painting now hangs in the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere museum in the Belvedere, Vienna, and is considered a masterpiece of Vienna Secession (local variation of Art Nouveau) and considered by many to be Klimt's most important work. [5][6] It is considered by many as a famous work of art.[7]
