Finding the Right Paintings for You
Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.
When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.
Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.
Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.
No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.
Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color?
On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.
Questions About Japanese Garden Painting
- What makes a Japanese garden?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021Natural guardian stones and waterfalls are common features in Japanese gardens. In Eastern philosophy, stones are significant — they have practical and symbolic meanings. They bind the garden to the ground and give it its unique personality as a symbol of eternity and the omnipresence of nature's force.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022At its most basic, the essential elements of a Japanese garden are water, stone and plants. Other common elements include garden bridges over the water source, stone lanterns, and koi ponds. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of items relating to the art of Japanese gardening from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese painting is called “nihonga”. This style of painting is characterized by a reduced color palette, a lack of shadows and simple expression. Works in this style are often created with mineral-based paints on scrolls and screens and depict landscapers, women and scenes from Japanese history and culture. You’ll find a wide range of nihonga art on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Japanese paintings have many names, based on their style. Works produced after 1900 are known as Nihonga and combine traditional techniques with modern themes. Sumi-e are traditional Japanese ink paintings, while Ukiyo-e are figure and landscape paintings from the 17th to 19th centuries. On 1stDibs, find a range of Japanese art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Japanese screen painting is the art of creating byōbu, or Japanese screens. Byōbu vary in subject matter and style. The screens are free-standing, portable and decorated with symbolic images or calligraphy. It is common to find byōbu in pairs with at least two panels. Shop a selection of byōbu on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Japanese silk painting is identifiable by its depictions of everyday life and scenes that are abundant with detail. The red seal or chop can also help you determine the artist of the piece. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted Japanese silk paintings from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
