Art Appreciation
When I was a college student, I enjoyed going to museums and looking for the works by impressionists like Henri Matisse or Camille Pissarro. To me, impressionists want their viewers to be participants in their work.
For example, one can easily picture themselves in Marko Mavrovich's painting titled Angels Over Venice or strolling along a road in Avalon. The paintings purposely allow the viewer to add their own emotions and interpret their own experiences.
I came across American impressionist Marko Mavrovich while walking through a gallery on a cruise ship. The painting on display was Resting in the Studio, which depicts the painter's brushes along with a bottle of wine. Perhaps the wine was in celebration of completing an art piece. Maybe the wine helps the artist paint. It's up to the viewer to make the story.
Mavrovich gets much of his inspiration from the Mediterranean painting oceans and hillsides.
You can see more of his work HERE.
