Small size artwork by Carré d'artistes

 

BUY A SMALL CONTEMPORARY PAINTING


Small format paintings are available in a wide variety of techniques and can be purchased at a reduced cost compared to a larger format. Large format paintings are the result of a long pictorial tradition dating back several centuries. The paintings of painters such as Velázquez or Leonardo da Vinci depicted life-size portraits, nudes and other scenes of life.

 

In contemporary art, the art of the large format has quickly imposed itself in the image of works of contemporary artists such as Anish Kapoor, Yan Pei ming or the painter Mark Rothko. The larger XXL formats have undeniable aesthetic advantages and create a special atmosphere in a room. Painters, photographers, or sculptors have marked the history of contemporary art by the artistic gigantism.

 

What is contemporary painting ? 


Because of the variety of forms, contemporary art is not easily defined, in other words it is by definition "the art of today" i.e. of the 21 st century. What could be better than a small piece of art painted by hand.

It is characterized by its global nature, the diversity of cultures and especially the influence of technology and the digital era. Contemporary art also involves a dynamic of materials, it is diverse and is part of the communication of modern culture.

 

Modern and contemporary painting 

 

There is a great distinction between modern and contemporary painting, although their definitions can easily be confused and there is some overlap between the two. We talk about modern art from the 1860s until about the 1970s. Modern art is rather Picasso, Matisse or Frida Kahlo are emblematic modern artists.

But only after the Second World War, the United States became a world artistic center and many artists were born like Andy Warhol or Willem de Kooning. Contemporary art is mostly related to the present moment and in an art produced during our life.

The term "contemporary art" appeared for the first time in 1910, with the foundation of the Contemporary Art Society by Roger Fry. It was then used a lot in the 1930s as a pejorative term.

Now in the history of art, many movements can be described as part of contemporary art: abstract canvas, abstract painting, figuration, pop art, street art...Contemporary art also varies from one country to another.
