Modern Prints

Modern art and contemporary art are frequently confused. In our English language we frequently use either word when discussing the current world around us, yet in art, there is a difference. In the world of art, modern art includes pieces that were created from roughly the 1860s to the 1970s. Contemporary art started after that time and continues through present day.

Some say modern art started with the Impressionists and some say it was after. During the modern era there was continued revolution and changing styles. It was a time of great experimentation in ways that had never been seen before. The old rules and standards of art were out and new, more accepting, views were in. Modern art includes the movements of Cubism, Impressionism, Romanticism, Realism and Art Noveau. Well known artists of the modern art movement include Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Edvard Munch, and Henri Matisse.

Popular modern prints and posters include The Dog, The Camel, and Blue Nude (Seated Nude) by Pablo Picasso, Red Canna by Georgia O'Keeffe, El Vendedor de Alcatraces by Diego Rivera and Tango Argentina by Misha Lenn.

Modern art posters offer a wide range of artistic designs from simple lines in black on white to the more complex design of a brightly colored cityscape. With the wide variety of themes, colors, and styles to choose from, you will find a modern print to fit your taste, your budget, and your space.
