Origins and History

Original contemporary Classicism artworks emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction against the prevailing modernist and postmodernist trends. The movement sought to revive the classical ideals of harmony, proportion, and beauty, which had been largely dismissed as outdated and irrelevant. The revival of Classicism in contemporary art can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, when artists such as Richard Estes and Philip Pearlstein began to incorporate classical elements into their realistic paintings. In the 1980s and 1990s, a new generation of Classicists emerged, including Jacob Collins and Stephen Gjertson, who sought to create a new visual language based on the principles of classical art. Today, contemporary Classicism continues to evolve and adapt to new ideas and technologies, while remaining grounded in the timeless ideals of the past.

Evolutions of theses works in the contemporary art market

In recent years, original contemporary Classicism artworks have experienced a remarkable evolution. Artists have reinterpreted classical themes and techniques in innovative ways, resulting in a revival of interest in this style. Their importance in the contemporary art market cannot be underestimated. Collectors and art enthusiasts alike are drawn to these works for their timeless beauty, technical proficiency, and historical significance. Moreover, the resurgence of Classicism offers a refreshing alternative to the often abstract or conceptual art that dominates the market. As a result, original contemporary Classicism artworks have become highly sought after, with prices soaring for top-quality pieces. This trend has sparked an important dialogue about the role of tradition in contemporary art and the enduring appeal of classical motifs.

Contemporary Artists who explore original contemporary Classicism artworks include:

  1. Jeff Koons: Known for his large-scale sculptures that often reference classical motifs, Koons is one of the most well-known contemporary artists working with Classicism themes. His work often combines pop culture references with traditional elements, creating a unique blend of the past and present.

  2. Jenny Saville: A British painter, Saville’s work often depicts the human figure in exaggerated forms, reminiscent of the classical sculptures of ancient Greece and Rome. Her use of texture and color creates a visceral, emotional response from viewers.

  3. Kehinde Wiley: Wiley’s portraits often feature African American men and women in classical poses, set against vibrant, patterned backgrounds. His work challenges traditional notions of power and representation, and invites viewers to consider the presence of people of color in art history.

  4. Cindy Sherman: Sherman’s photographs often feature herself in elaborate costumes and settings, referencing art historical tropes and themes. Her work explores the representation of women throughout history, and the ways in which identity is constructed and performed.

  5. Anish Kapoor: Kapoor’s sculptures often use reflective surfaces and bold, geometric forms to create a sense of grandeur and monumentality. His work is often compared to classical architecture, as it conveys a sense of permanence and timelessness.

Notable original contemporary Classicism artworks

Classicism artworks from contemporary artists are a great way to appreciate the beauty of the past in a modern context. One such artwork is "The Kiss" by Auguste Rodin, created in 1889. This sculpture depicts two lovers entwined in a passionate embrace, their bodies merging into one. Another classic sculpture is "David" by Michelangelo, created in the early 16th century. This marble statue of the biblical hero represents the ideal of human perfection in Renaissance art.

In painting, "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli is a timeless masterpiece created in the 15th century. This painting shows the goddess of love and beauty emerging from the sea, surrounded by other mythological figures. Another famous painting is "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugène Delacroix, painted in 1830. This artwork depicts a woman representing the French Revolution leading a group of people over a barricade, symbolizing the triumph of liberty over tyranny.

For architecture, the "St. Louis Arch" by Eero Saarinen is a modern Classicism masterpiece created in the 1960s. This iconic structure is a symbol of the American spirit and the expansion of the West. Another example is the "Petronas Twin Towers" by César Pelli, completed in 1998. These twin towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are the tallest buildings in the world and represent the country’s economic growth and modernity.

Each of these artworks represents the beauty, ideals, and emotions of Classicism in its own way. They are a testament to the enduring power and influence of this style, which continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.
