What kind of prints do you have

displayed in your home? While I truly enjoy all kinds of art prints, I have prints by Edward Hicks, William Beard and Nancy Noel displayed in my home at the present. My Beard print is of bears dancing in the forest. It is my favorite. And is in our bedroom. I often tell my fella they remind me of us. They are happy and free frolicking away...
What sort of art prints do you enjoy or have in your home for decor?

that is in our room....ours is framed a little differently than this...

We have one by James Paul Brown (America's Cup) pictured below, and also one by Mary Miller-Doyle.

There is another print done by an unknown artist, and a Renoir replica.

All chosen by my wife. I know nothing about such stuff. :o

I don't want to sound snobbish but I only have original artwork on my walls. That's because I'm a photogapher, I come from an artists family and most of my friends are photographers and artists.

Here, I snapped a quick picture of my wall from where I'm sitting. Of course my son always adds his little stickers :)

I like black and white pictures from my favorite places.
I also appreciate contemporary art.

Like Loucine I too only have original artwork on our walls. *grin*

Ok...on one wall there's an original print from a very talented artist friend of mine from Texas...I just love it.

On the other walls there's a framed Cirque Du Soleil poster from the Varekai show...and in the bedroom I have a framed Life magazine cover from the day Disney World opened. There's another mag from that same day...but not as well known as Life of course. *grin*

In the living room I go for Kincaid lighthouse prints, I love those. . .but for my home office, where I spend most of my time? Ozz Franca, I have this hanging over my desk:

And this on an adjoining wall:

OH man I love Kincaid but I'm poor...so I just hang the calendar of his stuff up on the wall. *grin*

Nadine.

<G> I can't afford them either. I have four, I got them for Christmas over the course of time by a friend who runs one of Kincaid's galleries. If not for her, I too would just have Kincaid calendars! <G>

This is one of them.

I have a couple of Maxfield Parrish prints in my living room (Contentment and Ecstasy).

An antique print of a sleeping girl with a white bulldog watching over her in my office. An antique mirror and an antique print of a single large red rose in my bedroom. On my bathroom wall, I have framed 12 uncut antique postcards (all in one sheet) showing the different astrological symbols with the name of the corresponding month.

I'm terrible at decor and I'm not a knick-knacky person so my walls are often lacking. For this reason, I love my cranberry/red faux suede couches with tropical and cheetah print throw pillows!

I just bought a new picture-size mirror for the living room. Black wrought-iron frame with copper and gold colored leaves around the edges.

I'm still totally jealous. I've been to one of Kincaid's galleries...I got some postcards from them that I've thought about framing. *grin* Someday I'll have one over my couch. Someday. lol.

Oooh, what a great thread...I gotta take some pics and edit this post, but I have mostly original stuff. The non-original stuff is: A Walter Ufer print, "Winter in Taos", A detail of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, I don't care if anyone laughs, I still like Hopper. I have a Mervin Jules print (Mine Baseball). He studied with Thomas Hart Benton, one day I will own a Benton. I'd like to own a Sloan one day too.

EDIT: Ok...for the pics, had to tread lightly around the fiance who is sleeping...

For original stuff.
I own a Charles Keller original gouache. He was a WPA artist who did a lot of art with the working class as their subject. He's still alive at 92 and still has a studio on the lower east side.

I own a Janine Crowley, but she's only known around Saratoga, NY and the modern Hudson/Yaddo crowd.

My friend Mike, who shows locally gave me a few pieces.

I own quite a few Ruth Rodman prints, artist proofs and unique prints.

I'll put up a couple of my works when I can, and my fiance just did a wonderful collage. We have one piece of "found art" which is great, I gotta get a pic of that.

This I found in the attic of an old glove plant that had closed. Its a sample piece of backs of ladies gloves. Its such a great piece, and the closest I've ever had it dated was late 20s early 30s. Sweet huh?

That's my friend Mike's piece. He was a phenominal painter, oil and acrylic, pastels sticks occasionally. Mike totally tore apart his rotator in his right arm slamming a bathroom door, and probably won't paint again for the rest of his life. He's now taken some to watercolors, but mostly to printmaking. This is a watercolor. But he does litho and drypoint etching, some monotypes and they are fantastic.

This is one room of works painted by me...

Oh man...those are AWESOME!!!

The one with the sailboat...top right...the sky is just INCREDIBLE!

i took it with my cell phone so they're a little weirded out looking.... but thank you...

I own several World War II prints, most of which I haven't gotten framed yet because I don't have the $. Here's my favorite, "The Enemy Above", by Gil Cohen.

http://www.milartgl.com/Images_b/b-the-enemy-above.jpg

Same here, only originals. I love Maxfield Parrish and have him everwhere (well, his women). Also Perugini's In the Orangery, Campanelli's Soul of the Rose. Several Monet works, Cassatt, even Renoir! I love Vermeer's portraits of women, Degas, and Polen. Also really like Old West, Jack Terry and Jack Sorenson's paintings, very beautiful. :)

HUH ???? :eek: You have originals of all that ?!?!?!

you must be an art collector and a millionaire !!!

Whoa...I want a Vermeer! It really doesn't get much better than the Dutch Masters.

Ooooo Molly, I love your Indian pics. Very nice.

Percy, that La Tempest is beautiful! Frame and all.

I don't have any originals from anybody except my daughter, which I display among all my copies of orginal artwork. Nobody here would be interested in what I have. :)

Yes Lynn, post it !! I'd love to see your daughter's artwork. Here's my son's very first drawing. I thought it deserved a grandiose frame :)

Otto,

I love this piece,
very original and unique, remind me of fine asian art.

The leather is unfortunately drying out. I need to take it to a restorer and have it looked at.

Those patterns were done on a machine...but by hand if you know what I mean. Back in the day before computers guided mass production of embroidery, old Italian and Jewish immigrants living in upstate New York produced the majority of women's gloves in America, often as home work. Each pair would have the back done seperate and away from other pairs. So each pair of gloves would be different. Its rare nowadays to even see embroidery on leather because it is so expensive.

Otto, I have a friend who is a textile artist. I hope you don't mind if I copy your picture and send it to him. I think he'd enjoy seeing that. Plus, he may have some tips on how about getting it restored.

Oh yeah, that'd be great whiterose. Its unfortunately very dry in my apartment, and I'm not entirely sure how to take care of the leather without ruining the embroidery. There's gotta be something out there, I just don't know what. The leather is starting to discolor and crack though. Ha, starting to...actually, when I took it out of the attic it was off white.

Otto, is it protected under glass?

Naw....its not...should it be?

Actually, that seems like a real good idea. Maybe I could put it in a deep shadow box frame and rig something up to humidify it...should I humidify it do you think? If I could install a gague for humidity and temp., that wouldn't be hard at all.

I wish my digital was working (daughter...dont ask)

Above my bed and whereever my bed has been the last 25 years is a poster I got in New Orleans at the Mardi Gras in 1980 when I went with a couple friends. Counted as one of the best times of my life...I brough it back and had it professionally framed.

In my living room Ive a original print (signed by the photogragher) of the oldest known house in the city of Santa Rosa called the Hoag House. This house is now decrepid and sits abandoned in a county corporation yard. Then Ive a couple copies of French style houses that are next to it. Ive no idea, I picked them up at an estate sale for next to nothing a few years back. Maybe if I can get a picture I should send it too Loucine. Also an original print of a old railway bridge I think was done by the same man who did the Hoag House...Im not sure.

Oh..and also in my bedroom is a cowboy type western painting that my ex-husbands grandfather bought at the worlds fair on Treasure Island in 1939

Then just a whole lot of stuff that I just like.... :D And thats the main thing for me....that I like it!

Whoa Nelly, or Lou. No, not rich and far from it! I meant only prints OF originals by famous artists! Whew!! :D

I'm terrible, terrible...

Would you believe I have no prints on my walls? Shameful, I know! The thing is, I know EXACTLY what I want to do but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. This is kind of corny but I want to print black & whites of parks we've been to and of parks in the towns we're from (kind of a play on words, going with our surname), matte them in white and frame them in black. I'm on the hunt for large, wooden letters I can use to spell our name on the wall - I don't know exactly what font I want but when I see the right one, I'll know it - and then I'd like to have all of the pictures of the different parks scattered around our name. I'd also like to have little pictures (candid shots only; nothing posed) of our family randomly added here and there.

For those of you who were in St. Louis two years ago, I've got a GREAT shot of the Arch from LaClede's Landing! It *kindof* looks like this:

Anyway, if I ever get it together, I'm sure it'll look great! :D
