Off The Easel

The American impressionist painter William Merritt Chase is thrilled to share his art on Tumblr. Show him some love.

This weekend I created a Tumblr blog for the American impressionist painter, Julian Onderdonk. Onderdonk loved painting Texas landscapes and bluebonnets! So many bluebonnets! Fun fact, President George W. Bush decorated the Oval Office with three of Onderdonk's paintings. With that, head over to Julian Onderdonk's blog and give it a follow. 

The American impressionist painter, Guy Rose, is now on Tumblr!  I am sure he would appreciate it if you followed his blog ;)

Artwork by the talented Anya Lincoln-Dunn

For over a year I’ve been showcasing classical art through my various Tumblr blogs (Impressionism, Surrealism, Expressionism etc...) and you guys love those blogs so much that last week I reached a whopping ONE MILLION followers!!!

To celebrate this milestone I’d like to start giving back to the art community by promoting contemporary artists. Would you like to see your art featured across my art blogs? If that sounds good, please send the following to [email protected]

Many of you have commented that you would like to see more female artists featured on this blog. I hear you you and I want that too. For the sake of full transparency: the reason that I do not have as many female artists (social profiles) as I’d like at the moment is because I decided to start with a focus on presenting artists with large bodies of work to provide you guys with a variety of content. Unfortunately, due to thousands of years of inequality, these artists are usually men. Are there incredible female Renaissance artists? Absolutely (Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Fede Galizia come to mind and their profiles are coming soon). Was their work as well preserved and available as Leonardo da Vinci? Unfortunately not. 

When most people think of Expressionism, they think of Edvard Munch’s The Scream or the many women of Egon Schiele. However, the movement contains many more talented artists, and I encourage you to become acquainted with some of the lesser-known expressionists such as Franz Marc, August Macke and (my favorite) Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, as well as follow the classics like Amadeo Modigliani and Oskar Kokoschka. With such a wide variety in styles you’re sure to find new favorites among the thousands of bright and colorful paintings our Expressionists have to offer.
