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 watercolor "Graces of the Hippodrome" shows two young women crossing the hippodrome in the foreground, wearing elegant hats and flirtatious smiles. Confident and aware of their impact, they cast flirtatious glances at the crowd. Their graceful movements and elegant dresses, depicted in soft pastel colors, give the scene a delicate, dreamlike atmosphere. In the background, two racehorses, accompanied by jockeys, are seen preparing to start. The powerful animals contrast with the relaxed and playful presence of the women. The soft, flowing lines and colors of the watercolor technique give the scene a light and lively atmosphere that perfectly captures the elegance of the ladies and the excitement of the racetrack.
