In the 1960s, artist Andy Warhol literally turned the art world on its head by painting pictures of such things as Campbell soup cans. His paintings of Campbell soup cans and of other such every day items and products have become legendary.
Since the computer boom of the 1980s, a small group of visual artists commenced using images of the electronic technology to develop a genre of pictures of computers. Pictures of computers have taken the form of painted pieces. Additionally, pictures of computers have also been the subjects of artistic photography.
Pictures of computers – painted and photographed – are the natural progression of what Andy Warhol started with the simple soup can in the 1960s. While pictures of computers will not be found in the finer galleries around the globe, pictures of computers have provided whimsical glimpses in more avant garde venues.
Pictures of computers, colorful paintings of the devices, have provided pleasant additions to children’s rooms. With the computer becoming such an important part of a young person’s day to day life, adding a light touch in a classroom or bedroom that includes colorfully created pictures of computers makes the machines more accessible in thought and theory for youngsters.
Pictures of computers have even begun appearing on wallpaper and other home decorating accents. Indeed, if a computer lover really wanted to, he or she would be able to decorate his entire residence in a motif that includes pictures of computers and computer accessories.
The best resource for finding decorative pictures of computers remains the World Wide Web where a number of sites specialize in such items. Additional, some brick and mortar home decorating centers have pictures of computers accents available for their customers. Again, many of these pictures of computers items are geared towards younger children. But, as with most "things computers" pictures of computers products can be found for people of all ages.
