Defining “Contemporary”
The term “contemporary” connotes the zeitgeist of the current times. This is an interesting concept, as often it takes time to conceptualize what the trend is, and by the time it has been correctly analyzed, there is often a new movement coming to the fore. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of art.
It is mind-blowing to consider that the pieces of art that we consider classics were contemporary in their time. And as this cycle continues, our contemporary art, such as abstract expressionism, will undoubtedly be referred to as classic by future generations. With the intrinsic fluidity of temporality, it is a constant struggle for critics and laymen alike to accurately define what is contemporary.
Adding Life to the Living Room
A living room is the first room your visitors will see upon entering your home. This is where you most often entertain guests and visiting family and friends. Hence, it is important to keep this room attractive and inviting. Redecorating your living room doesn’t have to be burdensome.
You do not need to overhaul the whole room by painting the walls a different color or replacing all the furniture. The secret is to start with the small details. You can add decorative throw pillows to make the couch more appealing or perhaps change a vase or two and the room will look new already. Make a room look more contemporary with some abstract expressionism paintings. It’s all a matter of finding the right new pieces to blend with the old.
