Art Prints History The Industrial Revolution that began in the mid 19th century has made a significant impact on art. New styles and movements have appeared and old styles have been replaced all with an incredibly fast pace. The growth of the society has been reflected in art and while others believe that this change has broken the true essence of art, some would like to think that art is just like science, and can also undergo massive changes and revolutionize the way it is being interpreted. In 1880, an art style called Art Noveau where mysterious and stunning art prints of women were the most popular at the time, and served as an inspiration to impressionists and other famous painters such as Van Gogh. It is also believed that the Art Deco style is an updated version of the Art Noveau. Another style, originated by Pablo Picasso is Cubism, where geometrical forms and fragmentations are used in paintings. Impressionists adapted to the fast paced Industrial Revolution in the 19th century by painting outdoors, doing it in a rapid manner. The goal was to capture the splendor of the sunlight, and the magnificent atmosphere of nature. This type of style has marked the beginning of the separation from the Renaissance period, where in art were mostly presented in human form, and a central, focused design on the canvas. In the beginning of the 20th century, science played an important role in influencing the way art interpreted the world. Inventions like the telescope and microscope inspired artists to isolate their crafts and create a new dimension that is reflected in their work. Modern art depicted the 20th century as a fast paced life, where speed, and multitasking are essential, depicted in pictures of trains, cars, and airplanes, and abstract art. Abstract art prints have continued to evolve into modern art as having the viewer to not just see the whole picture, but to look deeper and find meaning in it. The shapes in modern art prints continue to represent the rhythm and harmony behind each picture. Photography continues to inspire in black and white, color, and colorized styles. The boundary between realism and abstract is also represented in contemporary art, and Art Deco and Pop Art have become a trend in modern art prints through the vivid colors, stylistic effects, and forms from many inspirations. Andy Warhol, known for his legendary Pop Art, created portraits of different personalities in cartoon-like presentations. In the field of technology, this art style is now being used as picture effects on digital photographs, and can be done instantly with the click of a button from mobile phones, or by uploading it to web sites that provide image manipulation applications. Up until now, the modern art styles are continuously inspired by all the art styles from past centuries. From canvass to paper, and art exhibits to online galleries, technology has played a significant role in the evolution of art as well. This so called evolution in modern art can be pointed out to the contribution of science and technology, which are also used as inspiration for artists in the generations to come.
