Art for Art's sake? Art for a Purpose? What do you choose when buying your Photo Prints?

 



Is this art for art's sake? Or is it art for a purpose? How do you know? 




What about this one? 

How do you select new art for your walls? 

A medical clinic, almost always buys art for a purpose. Patients coming to see their specialist about concerns that are almost always disturbing, and the medical team, be it mental health or physical health, wants their patients to remain as calm as possible. So one can say that in medical waiting rooms, as well as diagnosis and treatment rooms, art is purchased for a purpose. The rubric here is all about the patient's state of mind.

The prints above may or may not work for your given purpose. They only serve as examples of this discussion. Art for art's sake, or art for a purpose though is why you can feel there are choices at my pixels site.

How does one outside of a medical or even business conference room, make a decision, the reason for a collection of art prints on their walls? And how do you choose between the two?

Unless one is selecting photography prints for their entire home or office all at once,  we choose differing themes for each room, and in some larger rooms, for different locations, different effects. In one room buyers of art, may decide on a theme, such as modernism or traditional photography, or purely art for art's sake, in whatever strikes our fancy when searching. Or we may create a thematic scene full of nature or farm animals and farming in general for a given room. I'm sure we have all seen a kitchen with thematic pieces of wall art from an era of city life, country life, or many other settings imaginable. 

The choice between the two then becomes a fanciful one. A choice as fun in placement, as much as the dichotomy of the two choices. When you're ready to make the decision, I hope you'll give my site a visit
