Set this up so there would be an article linked to present and future references to this subject. For the list of artists, I set a cut-off date of 2000, because the original phase of the revival was complete by than time and the number of artists expanded greatly about that time with more painters than can be referenced here. I relied upon catalogs from museum exhibitions from the California Art Club, the Oak Group from Santa Barbara and other organizations. Some of the painters were active much earlier, even as far back as the 1940s or 1950s and a number in the late 1980s when the movement gathered steam. The painters included one could argue should use a "painterly" or Impressionist approach rather than a photo-realistic style to be considered part of this movement and inspired by the original Plein-Air School.
- There's a lot of unsourced or insufficiently sourced original research here; is there a single published source that refers explicitly to California Plein-Air Revival?
- If not, then this article is WP:SYNTHESIS. JNW (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
