Neo-Traditional

Neo-Traditional evolved directly from American Traditional — keeping the bold, visible outlines and saturated color palette while expanding the vocabulary of subjects and technique. Where traditional stays with anchors and roses, Neo-Traditional reaches into Art Nouveau, fantasy, wildlife, fashion, and portraiture. Line weights vary more dramatically, backgrounds become more elaborate, and compositions can be more complex. It is classic structure with a modern range, and tends to age as well as traditional work when executed correctly.
