Questions About East German Art
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024The difference between traditional East and West art comes down largely to the aims of artists. Traditionally, Eastern artists sought to tell stories and reveal their perceptions of the world around them, seeking to make their works visually appealing, not realistic. Until the modern era, which began in the mid-19th century, most Western artists focused on depicting scenes as realistically as possible, using techniques like linear perspective to give two-dimensional images the illusion of existing in three dimensions. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of fine art.
