Modern Art Wall Art

What's in the collection

Wassily Kandinsky's Violet cuts a black arc across ivory paper with circles and saw-toothed fans hung along it. Charles Demuth turns factory machinery into clean American geometry, and Alfred Stieglitz photographs midtown Manhattan dissolving into haze from the window of the Shelton. Henry Lyman Sayen paints his daughter in a rocking chair in flat planes of colour, and Reijer Stolk cuts a gold head of the Buddha. Together they mark the modern end of fine art prints, several steps on from impressionist wall art.

One house style

Open space is the thread here — these pictures leave a lot of ground empty, which makes them the easiest group to live with in a small or busy room. White and natural frames keep that air; black frames tighten the geometry. They hang well beside the harder edges of expressionist wall art, and a single print at 18\" x 24\" over a desk usually does the job.

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 modern art wall art

Is the black-and-white photograph printed differently?

No. The same archival matte paper and pigment inks are used, which keep the greys neutral rather than warm.

What size suits a print with a lot of white space?

16\" x 24\" or 18\" x 24\". The wall art size guide shows both against a standard wall.
