Van Gogh's Impact on Art.
Vincent van Gogh lived more than 115 years ago, and
yet his artwork is still altering the way mankind views beauty, persona,
individuality, and style in art. His thousands of paintings and drawings have
various characteristics that have been copied by thousands and duplicated by
none. Van Gogh's unique life has inspired millions to become active in art. In
fact, what many people today consider to be the archetypical "artist persona" is
largely a result of his influence. Perhaps the most impressive aspect is that
artists continue to mimic the style that Van Gogh created over one hundred years
ago.
The impressionists and post impressionists of Vincent's time influenced him
greatly after he moved to Paris in 1886. The bright new palette reigned heavily
over Gogh's previous dark muted color scheme. Van Gogh's use of this new
impressionist and post impressionist style altered not only his work, but also
all of art history.

Duncan's Website to view all of his Beautiful Work!
One particular artist is leading the contemporary impressionists in an effort to
become "America's Vincent van Gogh"...
Stefan Duncan!
Duncan's amazing work is a plethora of brilliant colors tossed about in a
whimsical style he calls Squigglism. Having been greatly influenced by Vincent
van Gogh, Stefan utilizes this updated technique to draw the quick strokes of
the impressionists into long curvy lines. These tight eddies of color dance
around his paintings lighting every feature with beauty! It is this very beauty
that Stefan strives to capture in all of his work; revealing the divine in
nature!
Stefan's work continues to amaze me and it gives me great pleasure to be able to
show it to the rest of the world. Each painting is Neo-Gogh while still
presenting the signature style of Duncan. These paintings are a gift to all who
love Vincent van Gogh and a perfect representation of greatness! I look forward
to each new painting created by Duncan as his ability to present beauty
continues to grow!
