We're reveling in the spirit of rebirth, reflection, and rejuvenation, as we celebrate one more trip around the sun for 20x200. With the changing season, too, we're reminded of the Earth's steady and unrelenting circles around the sun and the resilience of animal and plant life through the resulting cycles.\xa0 Thursday was our official 17th birthday, and to celebrate we've been looking back to our inception. Our name came from our original edition structure waaaay back in the day, so of course we had to do a lil play on those numbers: we're offering\xa020% offfor orders of\\$200+with codeTHROWBACK. This applies to all discount eligible prints, and all custom framing sitewide—andENDS TODAYat midnight PT. P.S. Now is a great time to stock up some holiday gifts ahead of time, and we won't be running another sale until our big Black Friday Cyber Monday extravaganza, so we suggest finding some special, museum-quality prints that will bring smiles to your loved ones' faces come December. |

\xa0 Micue says of her work: "I want my images to give hope and teach people to appreciate themselves, to love, dream, and believe that everything is possible if we believe it is."The moment is nowis a poem, a song, a reminder of that can-do spirit that we all have within us. Micue expertly balances color and the element of motion in this piece, saturating hues to full effect and meticulously juxtaposing texture to show not just the feel of things, but the feeling of things. Depicting herself with arms outstretched, back to the camera, walking into the great unknown, "The moment is now" is an image rife with intrepid bravery, faith and hope. |

\xa0 When you talk about Hilma af Klint, you’re talking about an artist who held and explained in her work the paradox that time is both a concrete reality and a psychedelic abstraction. We here at 20x200 feel the wildness of that paradox big time these days because—we just turned 17!!\xa0 \xa0 It is such a joy for us to edition several prints from the mother of abstraction’s group of large scale, wall-dominating (nearly 10 foot by 9 foot) paintings calledThe Ten Largest—a subset of her seriesThe Paintings for the Temple. Citing a spiritual force as the impetus behind the project and using her unique stylistic and symbolic vocabulary, af Klint set out to represent the various phases of the human life cycle in The Ten Largest, from early childhood through adulthood and old age. Her deeply affecting work is both celebratory and revelatory, reminding us to savor and appreciate life through all of its phases. |

\xa0 Is there a more visceral way to see the bigger picture than looking at the Earth from outside our atmosphere? What could symbolize rebirth more than leaving—and then returning (as we hope the astronauts currently stuck up there can do soon)—to this planet we call home? \xa0 In this image, the Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft is seen as it lands with Expedition 42 commander Barry Wilmore of NASA, Alexander Samokutyaev of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Elena Serova of Roscosmos near the town of Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan on Thursday, March 12, 2015. NASA Astronaut Wilmore, Russian Cosmonauts Samokutyaev and Serova are returning after almost six months onboard the International Space Station where they served as members of the Expedition 41 and 42 crews. |
