The Renascent is a collection of modern cultural works. This volume showcases paintings from artists around the world with the only uniting themes being the artists’ passion for their work and their devotion to the skill of painting. A wide range of styles is present here: Realism, Naturalism, Romanticism, Classicism, Impressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism, and Abstract Expressionism, the diversity in which may be our age’s most characteristic trait. Together, the variety of works makes a statement on where painting has been and where it may go from here.
