Luminism
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Luminism is an American landscape painting style of the 1850s – 1870s, characterized by effects of light in landscapes, through the use of aerial perspective, and the hiding of visible brushstrokes. Luminism is related to, and sometimes referred to as, impressionism.
