It’s no secret among my family and friends that I love beautiful art. I tend to gravitate to modern and contemporary art. If you are asking what is the difference, that is a good question. I found this simple “rule of thumb” on about.com:
- Modern Art: Art from the Impressionists (say, around 1880) up until the 1960′s or 70′s.
- Contemporary Art: Art from the 1960′s or 70′s up until this very minute.
The February/March issue of Elle Decor features the artist Sharon Horvath in their “Art Show” section and I was immediately inspired by her use of color to create texture and depth. Here are some of my favorite pieces:
"Description Without Place"
"Dash"
"Your Blue Loom, for Martin Ramirez"
"Human Arrangement (Ochre)"
Contact Lori Bookstein Fine Art in New York City for more information on the artist and these pieces.
