I too have heard that provocative art flourishes most when there are times of great unrest. The small art stages in times of war and insecurity still distracted people from their worries for a short time. Since there is always some unrest in the world, there will never be a lack of cultural expressions. I have always been interested in art, less in the creators and I have never noted down their names - which is a gap in my knowledge. I didn't read books about the artists of their respective epochs, but I encountered them as indirect references in novels by authors who were inspired by them. Your clues reminded me of them, so I can thank you for making me acquainted with the names. On youtube I watch countless tutorials that show the artists at work. It's like eating a good meal. One watercolor artist I can recommend to you is Gary Tucker.

He is wonderful. Thank you! These tutorials will be very restful for me, almost like meditations. I think art is all about seeing, about vision. Of course, the artist needs to be able to coordinate hand and eye, but first the vision has to be there as a guide, through the whole piece. What looks like nothing to us in the beginning is always there for the artist. Magic. Thanks so much Erika for the recommendation.
Yes, isn't it a gem? I rarely find such good watercolor artists on youtube. But this one is exceptionally skilled not only in painting but also in commenting and give meaning of his art. He is from NY, I guess. So one day you might meet him at his favorite spots. You'll find out soon where those spots are when you follow him for a longer time. Thank you for appreciating.
I would love to see him in person, though I would never speak to him, I believe. But who knows? Sometimes I am driven by enthusiasm and surprise myself.
