"Hunting Ponter"; Oil on canvas by Briggs Anne; Size: 24"x30"; The age of Romanticism is returning. The period of extreme liberalism in art is now spawning a strong back-to-basics movement among artists.
Light, space, color and movement are what great art is all about. Light and color are the beginning and the end for an artist's alphabet. Probably not in the latter half of this century as an artist explore all these qualities in such a variety or traditional English subjects and given them such an unrivalled depth and life more than the renowned British artist, Anne Briggs. Her paintings reflect the sensitivity and interplay of earth forms, clarity of color, and a satisfying wholeness and balance in the lush landscapes, sunlight gardens and terraces, hunting scenes, romantic portraits, and the familiar beauty of horses and other pets. Most of Briggs paintings are commissioned and highly sought after by respected and famous collectors both in America and abroad. Her in-depth research and fastidious attention to detail ensure highly satisfied clients. Briggs has exhibited with the Society of Equestrian Artists in London and throughout England, as well as the United States, Germany and France. We believe tomorrow's art historians will assign Briggs a place as one of the truly traditions, yet contemporary, artists who capture the grandeur that is the English countryside ImagesClick on thumbnails to see larger images:
