- Most artists change their painting style throughout their career. Styles evolve; even with the Masters. In this short video, artist Jill Poyerd examines the stylistic change of Alexander Wyant and the possible reasons behind the change.

This is a beautifully made video! Thank you. Also-the quick glimpse you gave us of your own paintings was a nice surprise. Your work is stunning!
That's so kind - thank you!
What's frustrating as an artist is social media strongly encourages you to always make the same thing. Evolving & experimenting is not encouraged
This is true of galleries, too. If you create a "look" that sells well, a gallery (understandably) wants you to stay with it.
I agree with you both. That is a dilemma. I suppose new concepts could be presented for consideration?
true. Could that be the reason for some artists creating alternative accounts in social media for publishing "alternative" art pieces? And here in Brazil, it was a common practice for poets, for an example, to create different names ("heterononimos" in portuguese) for different writing styles or themes.
Since you brought up health being a factor in an artist’s change of style, it reminded me of Edgar Degas who’s art changed a lot in his later years due to his failing eyesight.
Not only did his style become more abstract with blurred forms and pastel colour, but he also used larger canvases that would have supported his limited field of vision. He also eventually turned to sculpting which would rely more on sense of touch.
Great input - Thanks for adding that. I actually didn't realize he took to sculpting! Makes sense...
So did Francisco de Goya. He went partially deaf, if I remember correctly, and also became very cynical and disillusioned by what was happening politically. Hence, all those horrific Black Paintings on the walls of his house.
@@amandavanwyk5424 Goya is one artist I haven't studied much, but from your information I'll need to take the time at some point. Sad but interesting.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt
His history is interesting. There is a very obvious shift in his work from when he was a young court painter to when he became more of a depressed recluse after fleeing Madrid. The difference is night and day, almost like it was painted by completely different people.
@@amandavanwyk5424 Wow, I really need to study him. I find so many of them have interesting lives...Elements of humanity that we can all relate to in one way or another.
I love it when you discuss the brush strokes. Both his earlier and later works are inspiring. Thank you!
Inness said it best..."Art is not to instruct or edify...but to awaken an emotion."
Nice
I learn so much listening to you analyze artists, styles, & techniques. I really enjoy these so much. Thank you
I'm so glad you enjoy them!
Thanks for introducing me to Wyant
Absolutely - It's rewarding to spread the word about some of the lesser known amazing artists.
Thanks Ms Poyerd: another excellent video!! I love the landscapes of the American Luminists (Church, Kensett, Gifford …) and Wyant's painting fits well with them. The way they capture the light, and their poetic drama, is truly awesome. I admire the painterliness of Wyant's other painting, but the foreground is much too fragmented for my taste (the rest is brilliant, though).
It's also worth noting that Inness is considered by many (myself included) to be one of the five best landscape painters EVER!!
I'm a fan as well, Michael. He has such a unique and wonderful artistic voice. Plus, he was able to paint so many different landscape conditions... and to paint them so well! Not easy.
What a magnificent simple so expressive explanation and comparison, thank you very much for sharing this beautiful experience you really make me able to read paintings.
You’re quite welcome! I’m so glad it has enhanced your art experience
If you go to Bright Angel point at the Grand Canyon the sunset makes colors like this sunset. Every single hue shows up
Wow, that must be amazing!
Your channel is wonderful. Its content is didactically relevant and very interesting. Thank you for your videos and for the initiative to create this channel. I wish prosperity and longevity to your channel and your endeavors. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
Thank you so much!
I too had several strokes at 37 years of age. I lost the use of my dominant hand almost entirely, but slowly over time have somewhat regained its use. I have lost my ability to write consistently and legibly, however i can still paint with astonishing accuracy to my intention. Better than before in fact, due to the temporary paralysis qwelling my prior tendencies of unsteadiness. I also believe that my strokes affected the area of the brain associated with writing coordination, but left the parts associated with visual reproduction alone. Lucky me. Now I'm mostly disabled, save for my most cherished ability. Nothing to do now but paint until the sands have all fallen.
Wow. That is quite a story and interesting that it had a backhanded positive impact. I'm so glad you're able to continue painting! Thank goodness.
Your videos are beautiful - thank you
Wonderful presentation! Was unaware of this gentleman's work. The light in that sunset painting is mind boggling. As is the extraordinary sky in the other example. One silly point: would Mr. Wyant have shaken hands with another artist in the manner depicted? That looks like a 21st Century handshake to me. (I'm old. I still shake hands the way they did in the 1950"s. My sons-in law have had to deal with it.). Thank you, Jill. Love your work.
You know, I didn’t even think of that! Interesting. I’m not sure how exactly it would have been different, but it likely would have been.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt I do feel a little silly for mentioning it. All these choreographed fist bumps and grappling is a mystery to me. I think they're colorful but I feel awkward trying to participate. Took me forever to be able to hug!
Such a beautiful and expressive presentation (As always)! Thank you so much! I was thinking for a while now at change of technique, let's say the evolvement of an artist, and you've got it spot on! BTW, love the artist too!
So glad it was helpful, Bobby!
Any minute thing of life and/or surroundings can make an artist create art different from previous. I guess, that's why they are naturally very sensitive and it may be necessary for creation.
That’s so true, I’d say
His latter style is incredible. Aside from Gustave Courbet, which are the other two artist you mentioned he took after? I love getting introduced through new artists with your videos.
Sure - The other two are Jean-François Millet and John Constable. I love the fact that my channel enables me to introduce you/viewers to wonderful artists in history. It's so rewarding on my end.
I would like a video about the lady Jane grey painting please
Holaaaaa 😊😊😊. Dónde estás???😮😮😮 Extrañamos tus excelentes videos!!!! 😢😢😢 ❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks
Thank you so much!
@@JillPoyerdFineArt you're most welcome. You and John Walsh are my two favourite art educators. His series at Yale on Van Gogh was divine. Keep up the great work!
Two very fine paintings ! Are they both acrylic? Since I trained as a picture restorer many decades ago, my own output has been in oils only and these are typical of scenes I appreciate and try to emulate.
Actually, they're both oils. Funny - I didn't think of mentioning that in the video.
what amases me about the amsters is the sheer determination of keeping at it for so many years. I understand that for some of them this is a profession but creative output is limited for so may of us. Not for them though
True...And some of them worked all day long, almost everyday. Amazing endurance.
Where can I see demonstrations of your work as an artist? not a theory of art, but your practice of painting. Give link pls
Certainly. I have samples of my artwork on my website as well as full online classes where I teach painting in both watercolor and oil paint: jillpoyerd.com.
I also have a video from years ago demonstrating my typical watercolor painting process: th-cam.com/video/r9s0gUcawT0/w-d-xo.html

Unfortunately, the inclusion of modern, non-art images (e.g. hospital bed) detracts greatly from your usual high standard of editing.
I'm sorry it was distracting or unpleasant for you. It's a tricky call sometimes.
@pippacarron1861
Wyant had a stroke. The hospital bed was relevant. If you can't handle life then all that can be said is best to you getting old.
@@vincentgoupil180 LOL!
