American Art Wall Art

What's in the collection

Winslow Homer works in transparent watercolour: a palm bent by wind at Nassau, a two-masted schooner fading into sea mist. Abbott Handerson Thayer paints wings and shadow, a standing angel in white, a winged figure on cloud, a tiger's head half lost in the dark. Grant Wood sets a farmer and his daughter in front of a Gothic window in the most familiar American painting of them all. The European painters of the same decades are in impressionist wall art, and the full range sits in our fine art prints.

One house style

These pictures share a plain-spoken quality that suits a study, a hallway or a room with wood and leather in it. Watercolours want light frames and breathing room; the darker oils take black or espresso and hold a wall on their own. A single painter's group can be found in Abbott Thayer wall art.

Sizes, paper and framing

Every design is offered on archival matte paper in nine sizes from 8\" x 12\" to 30\" x 40\", plus A4-A1 for European frames, and on matte canvas either stretched on a wooden bar or set in a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. Printed with pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Questions about American art wall art

Do watercolours print well?

Yes. Matte paper holds the soft edges and the white of the paper, which is where a watercolour lives.

What size should I choose?

18\" x 24\" for a study wall, larger over a sofa. The wall art size guide compares the formats.
