Not everyone can afford to buy a DaVinci or a Rembrandt. You don't see too many Caravaggios in your friend's living room, but you really love his work. Lithographs and posters are sooo dorm room, don't you wish there was some way to show off your interest in art while still portraying an air of contemporary sophistication?
Step 1: Take 3-10 of your favorite pieces and find images on the internet (do a google image search for large files). Maybe mix and match new with old artists, but definitely put in some pieces that are 300+ years old.
Step 2: Size them all so that they are the size of post cards.
Step 3: Print them on your photo-printer.
Step 4: Put them in identical frames that has a diagonal of at least 28", 1 picture centered per frame. Try a white/cream canvas background, glass cover, black wood frame. Something like this. For the more adventurous, try an even more contemporary frame.
Step 5: Show off at your next party. Maybe line a hallway or stagger in a room.
About Me
- Shauner
- Shaun spent 4 years in advertising and sales promotions, employed as a strategic planner and cultural anthropologist for clients such as Coors Brewing, Quiznos Subs, Miller Brewing, Bacardi-Martini, Motorola, and many more. In 2005, he left advertising to join the family business - a mid-sized microelectronics manufacturing firm. He is also active in several non-profits serving at-risk inner-city youth. When not at work, Shaun reminisces fondly about his 6 years of international DJ experience, 3 years of international surfing instructor experience, 4 years as an account planner, and his 120+ job interviews in the advertising industry. He has been recognized as a valuable change-agent and a rebellious advertising professional. He works well on new business strategy teams and intimate brainstorms. He has made as many friends as enemies due to his tendency towards deconstruction and creativity. He’s been sighted pushing boundaries that most people don’t think need to be pushed.

If you are more into diagrams than classical art, try getting your images from a site like this:

It's much better than when everyone started sticking up illustrations of plants from books by the likes of Elizabeth Blackwell (http://www.illustratedgarden.org/mobot/rarebooks/taxa.asp?relation=QK99A1B5441737V2).
