In general, "retro" refers to the recourse to forms and traditions of past years or centuries, which are taken up and reinterpreted in different ways. This can concern everyday objects of life as well as clothing, music and works of art, which are given a nostalgic, ironic or expressionistic treatment. Already our ancestors have repeatedly taken up models from the past, whether in the Renaissance, which sought a rebirth of ancient forms, or the Romantic period with its traditions glorifying the Middle Ages.
The "retro wave" that continues today is a product of the 1940s, which developed almost in parallel, if somewhat differently, in Europe and the United States. In the so-called "Retro Art", additional elements of the "Pop Art" that emerged at the same time were used. Artists such as Andy Warhol and Eduardo Paolozzi are therefore also assigned to both genres. Especially in the advertising industry, the eye-catching graphics with old-fashioned motifs were quickly taken up, as they were easy to reproduce and gave the customer a feeling of "things used to be better". Contemporary artist Anne Taintor, on the other hand, uses domestic stereotypes in her "retro advertising art" to address the modern woman in the modern-postmodern debate. While in the beginning mainly the characters of the previous 1920s and 1930s were integrated, today's artists have expanded their choice of themes to include the symbolism of all past centuries and different cultures.

Toller Kundendienst, der mich von sich aus kontaktiert hat, da es noch eine bessere Vorlage zu meiner Auswahl gab. Qualität des Drucks auch sehr gut, auch wenn ich kein Experte bin.
Ich hatte nach einem jap. Farbholzschnitt von einem bestimmten Künstler gesucht. Die Auswahl auf der Web-Seite war riesig. Nachdem ich meine Wahl getroffen hatte, konnte ich noch vor dem Druck Einfluss auf die Farbgebung nehmen und bekam jedesmal eine Vorabversion zur Freigabe zugeschickt. So habe ich das (für mich) perfekte Bild (als ...
Besonders gefallen hat uns die riesige Auswahl, die Möglichkeit, die Bilder in unterschiedlichster Ausführung und mit verschiedenen Rahmen zu gestalten. Die Vielfalt ist nahezu unbegrenzt. Der Konfigurator für das Bild ist sehr gut zu benutzen und hat uns sehr dabei unterstützt, uns die Bilder in unserer Wohnung vorzustellen. Von der ...

ich habe schon mehrer Drucke bestellte und meist auch rahmen lassen. Das Ergebnis war immer seht gut und die Bildqualität sah meist um einiges besser als in der Vorschau aus (da irritiert die Vorschau bei manchen Gemälden). Auch die Rahmen und die Qualität der Arbeit war bis jetzt immer top! Ein einziges mal geb es einen Mangel, der ab...
Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Die Qualität ist sehr gut und die Mitarbeiter haben sogar nachgefragt ob meine Bestellung so richtig war; und tatsächlich hatte ich mich im Papier vertan und es konnte so ganz leicht angepasst werden. Vielen Dank!
