Expressionism MarketFest The Marketplace, Clark County Heritage Center, Springfield Ohio

I've been playing with digital art as a combination of expressionism with bold colors. Wikipedia explains expressionism as a modernist movement, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas.

This image captures MarketFest at the Marketplace in downtown Springfield. The Marketplace include the Heritage Center of Clark County.


From the Heritage Center's website: A century-old City Hall and Marketplace has become the new home for Springfield and Clark County’s heritage. Priceless mementos have been assembled to open an exciting window on seven generations of fascinating history.

The Heritage Center of Clark County occupies a 50 feet by 462 feet, 56,000 square foot, three story, brick and stone building in the center of downtown Springfield, originally constructed in 1890 for city offices and a farmer’s market. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites.

The architect of the building was Charles Creager, a native of Springfield, who also designed buildings such as St. John's Lutheran Church, the Clark County Courthouse and the old downtown Post Office. The architectural style is known as Richardsonian Romanesque. The distinguishing characteristics of this style include broad roof planes, uniform rock-faced exterior finishes, decorative flashing ridges, eaves close to the walls, short and squat chimneys, corbels, deep-set windows and large, arched entryways without columns or piers for support.

This giclee print comes on a glossy or luster paper to enhance the subtle colors.
