Modern art includes a variety of subgenres. Some of the popular subgenres include dada art, cubist art, pop art, expressionist art, surreal art and minimalist art. The latter tends to appeal to Baby Boomers and people with a great affection for 1960s culture. These genres appeal to them more so because that’s how far back the subgenre’s roots go. Consequently, if you are looking to buy modern art that would please someone in those categories, minimalist art collections are certainly worth exploring.
Why Do Modern Art Fans Love Minimalist Prints?
Minimalist art is aptly named because it relies on using rudimentary, widely recognized shapes and colors to make complex statements. Oftentimes, the artists’ statements are open to interpretation due to the subgenre’s inherent, subjective elements. As such, the appeal of a single, minimalist print may cut across all demographic segments and conjure up a variety of personal memories for viewers.
What Do Modern Art Buyers Need to Know About Minimalist Prints?
If your foray into modern art leads to subgenre exploration, there are several factors to keep in mind when purchasing a minimalist piece. For instance, pay attention to the colors, shapes and lines present in the minimalist artist’s print and try to select combinations that will compliment a room’s furnishings. Next, choose a simple display option that is not only in sync with the minimalist artist’s vision but stays true to the movement’s tenants. Let’s single out GI Art Lab's piece, After Josef E, for the purposes of example.
Although clearly printed on a flat piece of paper, After Josef E appears to have great depth due to the modern artist’s use of color gradients. Thus, adding a frame or matting to the image would certainly alter the existing illusion. Therefore, having the minimalist print transferred to canvas and gallery wrapped around the edges would likely be the ideal way to display After Josef E without inadvertently destroying the modern artist’s expert work.
