    FIRST BRITISH X-RAY
    February 7, 1896 - Liverpool University, England

    Radiology began in England when X-rays were first used to discover the location of a bullet in a 12-yr-old boy's wrist who shot himself the previous month. When the pellet could not be found on probing, surgeon Sir Robert Jones had been consulted. Jones, having heard about the recently discovered X-rays, asked Oliver Lodge, head of the physics department at Liverpool University, if he could help with the new X-rays. On this day, the boy was brought to Lodge's laboratory. The pellet was identified embedded in the third carpo-metacarpal joint. Jones and Lodge reported the case in The Lancet on 22 Feb 1896. Charles Thurstan Holland who had been in attendance subsequently pioneered in clinical radiological examinations.« [Image: X-ray from 1896 of hand with buckshot made at Columbia University, USA]

Contemporary canvas art can be intelligently teamed with your decor and furniture to add life to your dull and bland rooms. Bare walls may wear a boring look. Instead, the right kind of painting or art piece can really make things look urbane, inspiring, visually appealing and even morale-boosting. But choosing any art work may not go well with your furnishing and general decor style. It is important to invest in the right kind of modern abstract art paintings.

The first step towards this direction is to get your colors right. Ideally, you may settle for one neutral color and one bold color. For instance, if your wall color is neutral or light, it is likely to look excellent with an art object of bold color.

In this regard, you should note that every room style will be different. You do not necessarily have to limit your color coordination to just two or three colors. You are free to play with multiple colors, provided they fit into your room and with your furnishing.

Spacing your modern abstract artworks should also be done intellectually. You can buy a painting in any size you desire. The empty space can be filled with more paintings so that your wall is actually a cluster of different but coherent hand-painted art paintings. Alternately, you may choose to buy a larger painting and put the entire focus over the single piece of art. Cramping should be avoided unless it works with you. Also, try to install special focus lights in order to throw light on the art piece.

If you are settling for multiple paintings or modern wall art sculptures, do not make a potpourri of multiple themes. For instance, a mixture of portrait, landscape and abstract painting is not usually preferable. It is ideal to hand a set of portraits or a set of landscape and seascapes or a set of abstract artworks.

Though, these are the universally applicable rules for decorative art paintings, you should never stick to any rule or mantra unless you can relate to it. Every individual is different and has an individualistic taste. You need to be true to yourself and rely on your instincts and your sense of judgment more than anything else.

Modern abstract art paintings offer you an array of art pieces and paintings to choose from. With time, you will learn to create magic out of them into your humble little space.
