Artistic Style

Artistic style is defined as the identifiable characteristics attributed to a group, school, or era. For instance, the attention to light and quick brush strokes of impressionism. Style can also refer the distinguishable features that set one artist's work apart from another's. An artist's work may not always fit neatly into one one category. Oftentimes, facets of many styles are evident in an artist's work.
