Artist John Sloane. Plein air (from French en plein air - "in the open air") - a picturesque technique of depicting objects in natural light and in natural conditions. The term is also used to refer to the true reflection of nature in the active role of light and air. Pleinair appeared at the beginning of the XIX century in England thanks to John Constable and Richard Parks Bonington; became the basis of the aesthetics of artists, for whom light and air acquire independent meaning and purely pictorial interest. The object itself is not consciously drawn, almost not expressed in specific silhouettes or disappears altogether. This technique was very popular among the French Impressionists. Painting in natural light has been known for a long time and was used mainly to create sketches. However, among the artists of the Barbizon school and the Impressionists, this painting technique received a new life.Solid areas: 0%
