Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Contemporary painting

From prehistoric times to today, painting remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists around the world. In addition to representing a field of contemporary art, it constitutes a means of expression with multiple forms. Indeed, the brushstrokes illustrated on a painting hide a concept or a subject. Whatever the theme you are looking for, ARTactif presents a wide range of contemporary paintings.

Contemporary art, contemporary painting: what is it about?

According to chronology, contemporary art follows modern art which was initiated between 1850 and 1945 by the impressionist movement. Contemporary art is therefore any artistic movement born after the Second World War. Pop art, graffiti art, Fluxus, Street art and digital art are examples.

Description
The oil painting "Cattle Drive in the Wild West" captures an energetic scene of a cattle drive on the open prairie. In the foreground is a group of cowboys: one of them sits casually on his horse, while two others stand beside their saddled horses, looking intently at the dust kicked up by the driving herd. The movement of the cattle runs through the picture from left to right, giving the scene a remarkable dynamism and speed. The entire scene is partially buried in dust and only faintly visible, giving the impression of a rough, chaotic and dusty atmosphere. Traditional cattle drives in the Wild West were on the rise.The ground is depicted in the colors of a yellow steppe, emphasizing the dry and dusty environment. The sky above is clear and blue, providing a strong contrast to the earthly action below and emphasizing the vastness of the American landscape.
