Even if modern art, at first glance, is not as famous as action movies or pop singers, many people appreciate it. However, although it used to be easier to find a movie theatre or children's slide than an art museum or gallery, those days are over.

HOW AND WHY LOVE MODERN ART?

Modern art represents not only a chronological era in the history of art but also a philosophical movement. We often talk about the mediocrity of modern art, about the way abstraction introduced in contemporary paintings is forced and represents much less than what is derived from it. However, if you look closely and for a moment at the renunciation of all kinds of aesthetic gratification, you will see that modern artists and paintings are essentially windows into the lives of artists and, therefore, into another era, a different war zone, a forgotten culture. At www.estades.com you can see that no matter how much art changes in form and shape, the only thing that does not change is that it will always be a reflection of human life.

THE GREATEST ARTISTS WHO MAKE THEIR MARK ON MODERN ART

Modern art is a term used to describe contemporary works of art created during the period from approximately the 1860s to the 1970s. This period saw an unprecedented development in the art world and some of the best known paintings were made by artists of that age. Among the many modern artists, Édouard Manet created a nude that unequivocally depicts a prostitute, Claude Monet painted Impression, Sunrise, which was called worse than "embryonic wallpaper," but gave its name to the influence of the Impressionist movement. Gaining a prominent place in museums of modern and contemporary art, Pablo Picasso produced Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, controversial for its radical style, and Andy Warhol put Campbell's cans on canvases leading to a controversy that made Pop Art a dominant movement.

WHERE TO FIND OR BUY THE MODERN ART PAINTINGS?

If you like modern art in general, a special painting or an artist in particular, there are three ways to satisfy your needs. First, you can go to a modern art museum that preserves great works and that anyone can visit under certain conditions. Second, you have art galleries such as Galeries Estades, which organize exhibitions by theme and sell works directly to the public. Finally, you have online museums and art galleries that allow you to follow news, consult paintings and order them if you are interested.

Collection of art and paintings

It is the accumulation of works of art by an individual or a public institution. It is important to know that most art museums in the world come from large private collections of royal families, aristocrats or the rich.

Sale of paintings

From the artist’s point of view, the process of creating and presenting art to an audience does not always boil down to the intention to sell, but this does not mean that one should not think, as a “consumer”, about the possibility of buying, if one feels like it!

Galleries and works of art

While social networks can be a useful tool for discovering the artwork in the comfort of one’s home, experiencing art on location is distinguished by the possibility of understanding the scale, texture, true colour and all its subtleties.
