I find myself returning to the “classics” from contemporary artists once again. Today, it’s the paintings of Emile Claus. In just a couple of days, he’ll be celebrating his 175th anniversary.
Impressionism, my favorite art movement, this time in its Belgian form. Claus’s technique gave rise to the artistic movement known as “luminism.” Other artists associated with this style include Joaquín Sorolla, whom I wrote about earlier in May.
