[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not tacky but a bit immature and less intentional? [/quote]

How did you arrive at 'a bit immature and less intentional'?[/quote]

I am an NP and I think I know what PP means. I think the anxiety over whether it's ok to hang something you like that you bought from a big company speaks to a couple of things - not yet feeling confident in your own taste (it's just stuff - get what you like!); not really knowing where to buy art (anywhere you find it!); etc. I think PP means that there's a kind of lowest common denominator quality to buying framed prints from Crate and Barrel or whatever - but you know what? Who cares. It's your house - and you can always change it.[/quote]

I buy most of my prints from places like Society6 and then mat and frame them. They are all intentional and chosen because we like the prints and they fit the space. Meanwhile, if we were buying originals we would end up hanging what we could afford which would likely be landscape painting of monuments from galleries targeting tourists  [/quote]
