We often hear about Modern Art as opposed to Antiques, but are these two concepts really so separate?
\n<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Modern art, what is it?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

By modern antiques<\/strong> we mean all those objects created from the 40s to the 70s<\/strong> of the last century. But this definition is also labile, as some sources limit it to modern art in the years between the Second World War and the 1960s.<\/span><\/p>\n

By objects we mean furnishing accessories<\/strong> (chairs, lamps, tables, etc…) but also household appliances<\/strong> of various sizes: you know the Smeg<\/strong> refrigerator found in Monica and Rachel’s house from the TV Friends series<\/strong>…<\/span><\/p>\n

Characteristics<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

We always remember that modern art is not separated from other styles present at the time, but is strongly influenced by them. We come from the Art Deco<\/strong> period and it is extremely influenced by this. This is without talking about industrial<\/strong> design which has evolved exponentially in the years mentioned above.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe modern ages. The old is back in fashion.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span>[Leo Longanesi]<\/span><\/p>\n

In modern antiques<\/strong> there are materials<\/strong> that, for the time, were at least unusual such as wood<\/strong>, leather<\/strong>, teak<\/strong>, linen and plastic<\/strong>, the latter symbol par excellence of the economic boom.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to this, the shapes<\/strong> are soft<\/strong> and sinuous<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As regards the prevailing colours, the furniture usually has neutral and gentle tones<\/strong>, while the objects<\/strong> stand out for bright colors such as red<\/strong>, blue<\/strong> or yellow<\/strong>.<\/span>
