How a New Generation of Painters Are Working En Plein Air

The phrase “plein air painting” evokes a sunny, breezy day in the French countryside; one can almost smell the wildflowers. Although making art outside is an old tradition, it’s heavily associated with Impressionism, which became a beloved chapter of art history. Today, the practice is coming back with fervor and variety in the hands of contemporary artists such as Doron Langberg, Nicole Wittenberg, and Hayal Pozanti.
