"Windy Day" by Boris Litovchenko, 2017, an impressionist manifesto of movement

Impressionist painting "Windy Day" was created in 2017 in oil on canvas. The work is a masterful study of nature in turmoil and a tribute to the ephemeral, light and air. A landscape scene of astonishing vitality unfolds on a canvas measuring 50 × 55 cm, captured with the looseness and immediacy typical of Impressionism.

Stylistic classification and technique

From an art historical perspective, the painting "Windy Day" can be clearly placed in the tradition of late Impressionism. Stylistically, the painter is oriented towards the open-air experiments of the French school around Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, but pursues his own expressive approach, which is characterized in particular by expressive brushwork and the bold use of color. The composition is deliberately loose, the perspective is open and atmospheric in the spirit of plein air painting. This not only depicts the landscape, but above all conveys the mood.

The painting technique is lively and spontaneous. Short, vibrating brushstrokes create a shimmer in the air, the light seems to move and the wind can almost be felt. The colors are earthy natural tones and strong accents. This creates excitement.

Interpretation of the content of the impressionist painting Windy Day

"Windy Day" is not a landscape painting. It is a picture of mood, oscillating between calm and restlessness, order and chaos. The wind here is a symbol of change, freedom and the uncontrollable. There are no human figures. This makes the world seem very primal. At most, people are there as observers.

The picture is arranged horizontally and the lines that move the figures and objects are diagonal. This makes the picture look wide. There are also many light reflections and shadows. The picture has no clear story and invites the viewer to think about it. This shows that the artist must be very good.

Classification within contemporary art

Although it is an impressionist painting, it is reminiscent of contemporary art. The pictures show a lot of movement. They are modern and abstract. It is a work that lies between the eras. Traditional in style, modern in expression.

Such a work can easily be integrated into current exhibition contexts, for example in themes such as:

• Landscape as a projection surface

• The return of nature in art

• Between impression and expression
