The prints were really nice but the glare on the frame was not good. I couldn’t even see the print.

Frequently asked questions
What is the opposite of contemporary art?
The opposite of contemporary art is typically referred to as traditional or historical art. Traditional art encompasses styles, techniques, and subject matters that were prevalent in art movements of the past, such as Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism, among others. While contemporary art reflects current artistic trends and practices, traditional art adheres to established conventions, often drawing inspiration from historical periods, classical themes, and techniques passed down through generations.
How do you know if art is Contemporary?
Art is considered contemporary if it reflects current artistic trends, practices, and concerns. It's often created by living artists or those whose work engages with contemporary issues, materials, and technologies. Characteristics of contemporary art include experimentation, diversity of media, incorporation of new technologies, engagement with current social, political, and cultural issues, and a departure from traditional artistic conventions. Additionally, contemporary art is often showcased in galleries, museums, and exhibitions focused on contemporary art.
What is a contemporary print?
A contemporary print is a print created by an artist who is alive today or whose work reflects current artistic trends and practices. It encompasses various printmaking techniques such as lithography, etching, screen printing, and digital printing. Contemporary prints often explore a wide range of themes, styles, and concepts, reflecting the diversity of contemporary art practices and reflecting the current cultural landscape.
What's the difference between Contemporary and Modern art
Contemporary art refers to works created by artists living today, reflecting current societal, cultural, and technological influences. Modern art, on the other hand, refers to a period roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, characterized by a break from traditional forms and a focus on experimentation and abstraction. While modern art is a historical period, contemporary art is ongoing and reflects the present moment.
