This kind of Art is that which is produced by ‘Celts’.
Celts are groups of Europeans who spoke “Celtic languages”.
Up to the 15th century, such artwork was called Celtic Art
whereas artwork created after this came to be known as
Celtic Revival Art. Celtic art also includes works of groups
whose language is unknown but archeologists consider Celts
to be their successors from similarities of style and
culture.Celtic Art is far from the usage of straight lines and is
rarely symmetrical. It is greatly ornamental in nature and
often uses symbolism in a complex form. It does not attempt
to imitate nature or anything that could be described as
classical beauty.
High cross, hanging bowl, Pictish stone, Celtic calendar,
carpet page and hiberno-saxon are some types of Celtic Art.
A major period in Medieval Art, Celtic Art inspired
various artists during and post the Romantic Age to create
artworks derived from itself but possessing a new modern
feel.. This is what came to be known as the Celtic Revival.
Celtic influence often also features in some most modern
technological devises used to create art today such as
computer fonts.
