The publication is dedicated to educating, informing and inspiring all traditional fine art enthusiasts, collectors and artists, and is available on newsstands, including Barnes & Noble stores nationwide. The title of the magazine, Plein Air, is a French term, which originated during the Impressionist movement when painters were known to paint out of doors. For hundreds of years great artists were academically trained and painting from life, and en plein air was considered one of the most important skills an artist could master. Plein Air Magazine covers the world of outdoor and studio artists, living and deceased.
