The Art Calendar
Like the ever-popular photo calendar, the art calendar remains a common theme when it comes to calendar printing. Indeed, one could argue that an artist has achieved popular approval, (as opposed to critical acclaim), when their artwork decorates an art calendar.
This is not to say that only well known or respect artists are ever featured on an art calendar of course, but when it comes to the classics, calendars featuring them are seen regularly. From Salvador Dali to Henri Matisse, stunning paintings grace the pages of many calendars. And like beautiful photographs on calendars, the prints often end up framed and completely removed from their original calendar context. (Which I’m sure would please the artist in the end.)
Art Calendar Themes
As with all varieties of calendars, the art calendar offers many themes for the discerning art lover. From traditional African art to wildlife art, and all disciplines in between, the artistic wall calendar offers a choice for every taste.
Paintings are of course the usual medium for display, but paintings of every type, style and genre can be found on an art calendar. Contemporary art, abstract art, fantasy art and modern art all make an appearance on various calendars, and often afterward retain their pride of place on the walls of the people who bought the calendar.
A painted landscape, cat, dog and horse paintings and unusual graphic designs are all further examples of the type of image that that are commonly printed on calendars.
Art Calendars Everywhere
An art calendar can make a great gift, and they’re available for purchase from many more places than stationery shops. Many a museum, studio or gallery stocks calendars printed with paintings for sale to customers.
If you’re planning on distributing personalised promotional gifts, an art calendar can be branded with your corporate logo and details, to make a tasteful, and effective, promotional giveaway.
And as we’ve mentioned before, once the calendar expires, framing a page from it converts the calendar art into a quality print indistinguishable from any other. In this way, a simple calendar can eventually be converted into a series of beautiful prints to decorate your home with as well.
