A Guide To Buy Original Artwork Online
It has become very popular to
buy artwork online and if you
want to buy original artwork
there are many new terms to
understand when comparing
paintings and styles. You can
buy artwork online in Australia
from art gallery Art to Art, who
can assist you with making the
perfect selection. Let’s start
with explaining three common
art terms – contemporary,
modern and abstract…
What is Contemporary Art?
Simply, contemporary means art that
has been and continues to be created
during our lifetimes. Therefore it is
contemporary to us. For most art
buyers of today this will mean any art
created after the 1960’s – 1970’s.
Contemporary Art therefore covers all
types of visual art and mediums. An
example from the current decade is
the experimental style of pattern
making through photography and
technology that is unique to artist
Carmel Louise.
Contemporary painting can
also expand beyond canvas.
Byron Bay artist John Cottrell
references nature and its
processes in his work and
often paints onto board as in
the painting shown below.
What is Modern Art?
Modern Art is generally applied to
art ranging from the
Impressionists of the 1880’s
through to the art created up to
the 1960-70’s. Some art critics
pull the start date forward to the
end of the Impressionist period
and some push the start date to
include the Romanticism
movement of the early 1800’s as
the start of Modern Art.
Whatever the range, the overall
definition of Modern Art is the
point at which artists felt free to
trust and express inner vision in
their work and in addition also
use social issues from modern
life as a subject matter for
experimenting and innovating.
Vintage Posters are an ideal
and budget friendly way to
collect modern art for your
home in a contemporary form.
Art to Art has a large range to
select from.

What is Abstract Art?
Abstract Art is the use by the artist
of a visual language consisting of
shapes, forms, lines and colour to
portray a subject matter without
always providing a visual reference
that can be recognised. However
paradoxically most lovers of
abstract art claim that when you let
go of a defining an abstract piece
and allow yourself to simply engage
with it and explore the ‘feeling’ it
creates in you, that is when the
artwork becomes truly magic and
can be fully appreciated.
