File:Jane Frank Crags And Crevices.jpg|''Crags and Crevices'' by [[Jane Frank]] (1960). As with many [[abstract expressionist]] works (and many so-called "[[action painting]]s" as well), impasto is a prominent feature.
File:Cordelia Wilson - Taos Mountain Trail Home.jpg|''Taos Mountain, Trail Home'' by [[Cordelia Wilson]] (1920). A landscape entirely executed with a bold impasto technique.
File:Van Gogh - Starry Night - Google Art Project-x0-y0.jpg|''[[Starry Night]]'' by van Gogh (1889). The impasto technique and line structure gives his viewers the feeling that the sky is moving.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Van Gogh : the life|last=Naifeh, Steven, 1952-|date=2011|publisher=Random House|others=Smith, Gregory White.|isbn=9781588360472|edition= 1st|location=New York|oclc=763401387}}</ref>
File:Rembrandt - Self-portrait, 1660.JPG|''[[Self-Portrait (Rembrandt, Altman)|Self Portrait]]'' by [[Rembrandt]] (1660). His use of impasto was surely inspired by [[Titian]], and the addition of impasto showed a new method of illusion in the artist's work.<ref>Walter Liedtke, Carolyn Logan, Nadine M.
