In this weekly series Kelly Kane, Editor-in-Chief of Plein Air Magazine, shares a favorite painting and artist quote from a recent issue.
Kelly Kane’s Pick of the Week: Déjà Vu
“Impressionism originally meant your impression of a scene — how you translate it, accept it, and put it down on your painting … a feeling of what you see. Strong brushwork and color come from this translation. But impressionism is constantly evolving, because we evolve. I am an impressionist painter in the sense that I respond to what I see and filter that through what I am and what I feel, and then I put it on the canvas. Some colors may not speak to me, so they won’t go on the canvas. Impressionism is a state of mind rather than a technique. It was revolutionary at the time and it still can be, precisely because it is evolving.”
— Philippe Gandiol, Evolving Impressionism
