Poster Prints: Modern Art
The modernist movement, as written according to perspective of art historians, began during the 19th century and pertains to a generalized period where artists and philosophers began to question traditional forms and chose to break from it. It was also said as the period of active independence from traditional, historical, classical and realist forms and subjects to focus instead on experimentation with line, pattern, color and flatness. The modernist movement was also greatly influenced by sociological, artistic and technological revolution that occurred in Europe and the United States from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, including the Industrial Revolution.
Some modern art works are better known than others due to reproductions and poster printing. Today, museums and print shops continue to print posters of these popular artworks. Below are some of the Most Popular artists and art of modern period.
• Jackson Pollock- Jackson Pollock is considered to be the leading proponent of the American Modernist Movement in the United States. Through his “dripped paintings”, the artist historically broke from the conventions of Traditional Painting in America to introduce the modern movement of Abstract Expressionism. His revolutionary painting style was to drip loads of paint from the can onto the canvas in a wildly abstractive manner, sometimes letting them coagulate in thick pools. Some of his popularly reprinted paintings include; No. 1, Lavender Mist, 1950 and Convergence, 1953.
• Henry Matisse- Henri Matisse, 20th century French painter and sculptor founded together with André Derain, the Fauvist movement. His work, distinctly characterized by bold and violent use of color in everyday objects and Still Life, earned him and his movement the term of les fauves or “the wild beasts”. The artist was earlier influenced by the pigmented, outdoor painting style of the French Impressionists painters including Claude Monet, Edouard Manet and Gustave Courbet.Some of his popularly reprinted paintings include; The Red Studio, 1949 and Dance I, 1963.

A Quick Tour Of Paris - Those Posh Western Arrondissements
The quite posh sixteenth and seventeenth arrondissements are located on the Right Bank of the Seine River in western Paris. We start our tour in the 16th that includes the Bois de Boulogne forest park. Between the two districts live almost a third of million people most of whom are well-to-do except for a working class population in the northern 17th district where not all the red lights are traffic signals.
Passy in the northern part of the sixteenth district was once a village that for many years was home to Benjamin Franklin. You can visit rue Franklin and the Cimetiere de Passy (Passy Cemetery) burial grounds for the painter Edouard Manet and the composer Claude Debussy, which was was once "the place" in Paris to be buried. The Parc des Princes is a football stadium with slightly under fifty thousand seats. It was France's national stadium until the much bigger Stade de France was built in the working class suburb of St-Denis.
Lycee Janson de Sailly is the biggest and one of the best French lycees (roughly high schools) in France. In 1944 hundreds of its students joined the French Free Forces, fought against German divisions in Alsace, and triumphantly entered Germany with Patton's forces in 1945. Janson's students often end up at France's most prestigious post-secondary institutions. The Musee Guimet boasts one of the largest collections of Asian Art outside Asia. It also has a magnificent collection of pieces originating in Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Other museums include a Counterfeiting Museum displaying original items and their counterfeits and the Musee Marmottan-Monet with a great collection of Impressionist works by Degas, Manet, Monet, Morisot, and Renoir.
The Trocadero lies across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The original Palais de Trocadero was built in mixed Moorish and Byzantine style for a world's fair after the Franco-Prussian war. It was rebuilt for the 1937 World's Fair and contains several museums. This is the historic location where the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
The 17th arrondissement of northwestern Paris is home to Paris's largest hotel, the Hotel Concorde La Fayette built on land that formerly hosted an amusement park. Nearby is the huge conference center, the Palais des Congres de Paris with commercial exhibition space, TV studios, theaters, and more. The beautiful Parc Monceau is located just over the border in the eighth arrondissement.
Every Saturday morning you can visit the Marche Biologique Batignolles (Batignolles Organic Market). If you feel like splurging check out the Guy Savoy restaurant on the Rue du Troyon, a little street in the heart of the district. Be warned, you will pay $100 for a bowl of soup and you'll need to reserve a month in advance for dinner. While this district contains only one museum, devoted to Jean-Jacques Henner, a relatively unkown Alsacian painter it is said to have the most artist ateliers in the city.
