The Techno-Impressionist Museum is celebrating its 20th year on the web. I was working as a consultant for one of the big New York banks in Brooklyn when Tony called me and said put these characters into your browser and tell me what you see. That was the first time I saw the Techno-Impressionist Museum on-line. The year was 1995.

In the ensuing years Tony has sent me many links and said what do you think of the my museum now. My response has always been WOW! Not because I am his muse, or his best friend and partner, but because it really has been and continues to be a magnificent, creative and inventive way of showing his art to people all over the world.

Tony wrote Art and the Zen web sites a long time ago and it has been used to teach web design to students all over the world. It contains simple yet powerful design criteria. The Techno-Impressionist Museum enfolds the good design that Tony talks about. Tony never displays his art on a page that winks and blinks. His pages that display his art in the 3rd dimension pieces do move but only because that is the only way you can see all the dimensions of the work. The art is never more than one click away and the art is the focus on the page. It is just you and your imagination and the image. No distractions, no extraneous information.

In this 20th year of the Techno-Impressionist Museum, Tony has gathered together his work of a life time. When you look at Tony’s incredible black and white images that he created when he was a young photographer, you will see that he is truly a master at capturing the essence of what was before his eyes.

Tony has always blended art and technology. This is brilliantly on display in his books and in the animations he did for his art in the 3rd dimension pieces. I defy you to show me another artist who has evolved how he displays his work with the skill and artistry of Tony Karp.

And yet for all this what remains is Tony’s genius. His ability to capture what is before him for only a fleeting moment and then to use technology to share his vision with you in an awesome way that will delight your eyes and make you think.

The thing about the Techno-Impressionist Museum is that it is always there no matter what time of day or night you want to see the art. It costs nothing; you don’t have to go anywhere. You can come back again, and again to see the works. You have to look at Tony’s work many times to get that deep understanding of how many different paths that original image that came from the camera can take you.
