Colorful 50s art prints
The 1950s was a period of optimism and prosperity in the United States, and this is reflected in the art of the time. Here are some characteristics of colorful 50s art prints:
- Bold Colors: The 50s saw an explosion of bright and cheerful colors in art. Think pinks, reds, yellows, blues, and greens.
- Geometric Shapes: Geometric shapes were a popular motif in 50s art, often used to create a sense of order and balance.
- Pop Culture: Pop culture icons like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe started appearing in art prints.
- Atomic Age Inspiration: The Space Age and the fascination with atoms led to some cool, futuristic-looking art prints.
- Advertising Art: Advertising art from the 50s is also quite colorful and captures the optimism of the era.

You can find these art prints for sale online or at vintage stores. They're a great way to add a touch of retro style to your home.
I spotted these prints at Art.com and fell in love with the colors. They're reproductions of '50s illustrations from the Saturday Evening Post.
The Marriage Wrecker by Coby Whitmore-- I adore the wacky composition that breaks the rule of thirds, has incorrect perspective, and smooshes the ladies' faces into uncomfortable corners. Plus it's orange!
Marriage Is Not For Me by Robert Meyers-- The color palette is delicious. Love the detail in some areas, balanced with flat washes in others.
Hmm, how to work them into this dignified Victorian house? Maybe I could at least tuck this lady into a bathroom somewhere?
