From pop art and abstract expressionism, to vintage travel posters geometric shapes and patterns, mid-century modern artwork is all about bright colors and bold pieces.

The article How to Create a Mid-Century Modern Gallery Wall from Little Gold Pixel dives into different wall art options to achieve this aesthetic, and features six different gallery wall examples. Whether you gravitate toward a particular theme, or want to mix and match, here's some inspiration to get you started.
