ABSTRACT IN ART

My favourite-painters

Some old - sometimes famous - painters from different countries are my special

personal favourites. They influenced me on many ways and I would like to present

them to you - to everyone visiting this site.

I remember my feelings when entering a large exhibition room in one of Denmark’s museums (in Cophenhaven)

– during an exhibition of work by Maurice Esteve. This French painter from the 19-century is one of my greatest

favourites. Clear and bright colours shine from the walls. His paintings are like lamps with a special kind of light

spreading around the feelings of better, happier and more enjoyable life.

My other painter favourites are from different countries and parts of the world - Afro (Basaldella is his real name)

from Italy. It is a pity that this painter is so little known outside his country. From France - Maurice Esteve,

from Belgium - Corneille (Cornelis van Beverloo), from Spain - Miro, from Austria - Hundertwasser,

from Switzerland - Paul Klee, from Poland - Jerzy Nowosielski and from the United States - Marc Rothko

and Kenneth Noland.

They had different styles, often very different compositions and were not always pure abstract-painters,

but all of them have a special attention and focus on colours.

The best and a very right way to present an art-painter is presentation of her/his

art-production. I use here one of functions of the biggest

search-machine on the Internet (searching after images with Google).

If you click on an artist-name in the list below - you can see, via link, some examples

of pictures painted by this selected artist. Sometimes other pictures - not connected

to the current painter - can be presented as well. Sorry - it is difficult

to present only the right material using so simple search and presentation method.

I hope that you appreciate those masters works - as I do. And these links have

an educational function too - by pointing some artists who are not so wide known

in the world as they are in their home-countries or in this part of the world they

are coming from.
