If you want to improve the wall decor in your home, consider adding a painting. Paintings are always classy. Even better, they show you to be a clever and wise person with a healthy appreciation for the arts. Common art styles in paintings these days are impressionist, expressionist, and modernist styles.
Impressionism began in the 19th century. You have probably heard of Claude Monet, who is a very popular impressionist (not to be confused with Edouard Manet). Impressionism paintings focus on representing light, time, and movement. They always add a lot of color and vibrant life to a room. If you want color and lively paint strokes on your wall, then impressionism is the way to go.
Expressionism is a movement that began in the early 20th century. It is actually a subset of modernism. Expressionists paint the world from an entirely subjective point of view. The artist’s emotional experience in a situation is far more important in an expressionism painting than simple realism. One of the most famous of these paintings is “The Scream” by Edvard Munch.
Modernism is a style that includes expressionism, among others. The painting style draws heavily on the modernist branch of philosophy, focusing on questions of the absolute versus the relative and whether or not tradition ought to be accepted. The modernist movement ultimately moved in the direction of rejecting all tradition, which is why expressionism lacks many components of realism, which preceded it. Famous practitioners of modernism are Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Paul Gauguin, and Henri Matisse, among others. Novelty, style, and fashion are present in modernism paintings, so this is a great choice if you want your luxurious home decorations to be fashionable and popular.
A painting is always a quality choice for improving your home decor. Consider impressionist, expressionist, and other modernist paintings when you’re looking to hang some beautiful art on your walls.
