At The Picturalist, we’re always seeking new ways to support the design community. That’s why we are happy to present to you new prints from two of our contributors.
First referenced as early as the mid-1950s, this design movement, characterized by its simple marriage of clean lines and gentle curves, really gained traction much later on, starting in the 1980s. Almost 40 years on, it came back again as a trend in 2010 and it’s still going strong and seen in residential and commercial properties all over the world today. At The Picturalist, we offer a large variety of Mid-Century Modern inspired art and photography, to help you find the piece that will complete your room design.
The Roses of Heliogabalus by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1888), oil on canvas.
Look anywhere artwork is sold and nine times out of ten you’ll find a floral painting. From yard sales, flea markets, to Sotheby’s and Christie’s, the floral offerings always rise to the top.
Certainly, this isn’t exclusive to flower paintings alone. But it reinforces that there is something constantly attractive and appealing about floral paintings. Artists who paint flowers inevitably get joy painting them and there is a wide enough range of diversity within the subject matter that you can do your own thing and still find an eager audience.
The Picturalist welcomes our newest collaboration with American photographer Kevin Dailey. Marine photography is popular with yachtsmen from all over the World who follow the races as well as its photographs taken of today's racing and cruising craft.
