About

Eric Forstmann works with a forlorn beauty, basing his viewpoint on what's around him; in doing so, he paints with an authentic voice. This allows him to keep one foot in the present while the other is in the 19th century. His landscapes are created in "En plein air," or Plein air painting, which is the act of painting outdoors. This method contrasts with studio painting or academic rules that might create a predetermined look.
