About Gust of Wind ( Windstoß) George Breitner Dutch Impressionist Painting
"Girl in White Kimono" is one the best paintings of George Hendrik Breitner. Breitner takes his sketchbook and camera outside to capture cityscapes and scenes of city life both quickly and effectively. The Dam Square, the Damrak and the Rokin, but also the poorer districts such as the Jordan; elegant ladies and housewives, but also dock workers or girls with flapping aprons. The sketches and photographs he makes in the streets are developed in his studio. With his fluent, impressionist style, he succeeds in rendering to canvas the fleetingness of the moment and the atmosphere of the bustling city life. George Hendrik Breitner was a Dutch painter and photographer. An important figure in Amsterdam Impressionism, he is noted especially for his paintings of street scenes and harbours in a realistic style. He painted outside, and became interested in photography as a means of documenting street life and atmospheric effects – rainy weather in particular – as reference materials for his paintings. A pupil of August Allebé , George Breitner was a painter of a declared Impressionist setting. His works, according to some historians, would have influenced both the painting of Vincent van Gogh and that of Piet Mondrian . He was a point of reference for the Dutch school as long as Impressionism represented contemporary art in the turn of the century.
