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.

4.8 / 5
Von der ersten Kommunikation bis hin zur Erstellung und Zusendung eine hervorrangende Adresse. Auch qualitativ ist der Ausdruck sehr gut, und nach eigener Erfahrung kein Vergleich mit anderen Anbietern die sich im Internet tummeln. Man bekommt den Eindruck, dass man hier noch etwas von seiner Arbeit versteht und vor allen Dingen auch n...
Top Auswahl, die Webseite ist unfassbar gut gemacht. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich eines Tages Kunstdrucke online bestellen werden. Für mich gibt es nichts vergleichbares. Über alles volle Punktzahl spricht für sich.
The choice of options was very good. I got the ideal size I wanted, and on the perfect material - in my case it was on satin finish paper. I also had very good communications and support from the sales team. Delivered safely to the UK. Many thanks.
Ich konnte mir viele Bilder ansegen, die ich schon im Original sah und die da so unglücklich hängen, dass man doch nix erkennt. Dank dafür. Ihr seid mein 'private musee'. Und die Qualität von Druck und Rahmen ist excellent.
We were delighted that both the prints we wanted were available. We were contacted with a clarification which meant that we received exactly what we wanted. We are in the UK and were so impressed by the excellent English used in all communications.
What I like most about Meisterdrucke's services (and they're all top notch) is the option to scale your print, which is so neat if you want to size it to an existing frame. I'm not aware of any other print seller who offers this option.
We ordered a very large print on Japanese paper. The print arrived in perfect condition and the quality of the printing was amazing. Now it is framed and hanging, we are delighted with how well the whole process has been. Meisterdrucke have been amazing, and we will use them again. Five stars are really not enough.
2 Monet Bilder bestellt, eines war sehr schön wie erwartet und auf der Homepage abgebildet, das andere (Seerosen) war deutlich dunkler und blaustichiger als im Internet und auch bei der zugesandten Bilddatei dargestellt. Ist insgesamt noch akzeptabel, aber wir sind nicht ganz zufrieden.
Die Auswahl auf der Website ist sehr groß und die Qualität der Drucke ist mindestens genauso gut wie bei einem anderen Anbieter, bei dem ich schon mal bestellt habe. Die Lieferung nach Deutschland ist schnell und preislich okay.
Das gerahmte Bild ist sehr schön geworden. Die Auswahl an Rahmen ist besser als bei anderen Portalen, die ich kenne. Das Bild war sehr sorgfältig verpackt.
I highly recommend Meisterdrucke. It was very simple to place an order. The customer service communication is very good. From placing my order to delivery it was very fast. Will definitely purchase from them again.
Die Auswahl der Bilder von Monet ist extrem hoch, die Druckqualität gefällt mir sehr gut und die Verpackung ist ebenfalls sehr sorgfältig und qualitativ sehr gut und stabil.
