The Emotions Evoked By Max Hayslette Paintings

By Rena Hudson


Max Hayslette uses a form of abstract impressionism to transport his viewers into his world. His paintings are representational rather than realistic. He uses small strokes and layers to create images that speak to hearts and minds. He has created a vast array of art that includes locations around the world.

Max Hayslette is an American artist who paints impressionist landscapes. He was born in Virginia in 1930 and had his first one man show at age 16. He went on to study art at the Art Institute of Chicago. He has received numerous awards and his use of warm colors and dramatic lighting transports the watcher into his world. Whenever possible he will go the location that he intends to paint. He takes photographs and sketches and makes notes of the atmosphere temperature. He has stated that he believes that each location has its own temperature.

Impressionist painters use small, thick strokes of paint to capture the subjects essence. They create lifelike images but not starkly realistic ones. However, at the same time they are more realistic than the traditionally designed paintings that depict a detailed central figure. Impressionists enhance a moment instead of concentrating on details.

Many artists choose to paint landscapes. There is such a vast number of choices to paint; mountains that reach to the sky; valleys that dip and roll; oceans that are deep and full of secrets. The only limit is their imagination. Impressionists like to create a subjective perspective of nature by adding color and light to their landscapes.

Hayslette uses an abstract element combined with impressionism in his paintings. Abstract art is one that creates a visual language with paint. It represents the subject by creating an illusion of it. Abstract impressionists control large areas of the painting by using small brushstrokes. They express their inner emotions in their paintings. These paintings are thoughtful and often lyrical and express emotions and energy.

These paintings can be viewed in more than 300 galleries and collections, both public and private. Some of them are: Art Institute of Chicago, Ken Behm Gallery of Seattle, Seattle Art Museum, the Findlay Gallery of Chicago, the Feragil Gallery of New York City, Christopher Clark Gallery of San Francisco, and Hanson Gallery of Carmel.

Some of his most well-known paintings have been recreated as posters. Provence by the Sea uses red, green, yellow, and blue to evoke peaceful and warm emotions. Green Hills of Tuscany uses deeper reds, golds, and greens that leave the viewer with deeper, more thoughtful emotions. Fenetres De St. Tropez primarily uses cool blues and evokes a light, joyful feeling. These posters are sold in many venues and are easy to find on both the internet and in art stores.

Paintings are used to evoke passion and excitement in their viewers. Max Hayslette is a master at bringing these feelings out with his beautiful and wide array of landscapes. They can be viewed in many galleries and art stores but many people purchase them as posters so they can enjoy them in their homes and offices.
