17 Twelve Artists to Watch In 2012
Despite some widely held notions, representational art never
actually ceased being practiced in modern and contemporary
times—it just disappeared from public view. The lack of exposure
has been attributed to what appears to have been a rather
narrow conception of what constituted “serious” art. Thankfully,
that situation has started to right itself, as evinced by a widening
appreciation for diverse art forms. American Artist is keen to
honor and preserve this diversity as we celebrate our 75 years
in print. With the new year quickly upon us, we offer a look at
some of the exciting and individual approaches to
representational art in four ever-evolving categories:
the classical view; perception & expression; mythologies;
and conceptually speaking.
