These prints are produced with
great care to represent
the original as painted by the artist. Morrisseau liked to
apply paint thickly to the canvas, The three dimensionality
of the paint application on these prints is very impressive.
They are printed on archival canvas with inks rated at 200 years.
WHAT IS A GICLEE?
This more recent than lithography method of making
higher quality
prints is gaining very high standard popularity.
Why is a Giclee more modern and higher quality then a
lithograph?
A giclee (zhee-CLAY) is an individually produced,
high-resolution, high-fidelity reproduction done on a special large format printer.
Giclees can be printed on any number of media, from canvas to watercolor paper. Giclees
are superior to traditional lithography in several ways. The colors are brighter, last
longer, and are so high-resolution that they are virtually continuous tone, rather than
tiny dots. The range, or "gamut" of color for giclees is far beyond
that of lithography, and details are crisper.
Giclees use inkjet technology, but far more
sophisticated than your desktop printer. The process employs twelve colors of lightfast,
pigmented inks and finer, more numerous, and replaceable print-
heads resulting in a wider color gamut, and the ability to use various media to print on.
The ink is sprayed onto the page, actually mixing
the color on the page to create true shades and hues. Giclees are produced one at a time.
Giclees were originally developed as a proofing system
for
lithograph printing presses, but it became apparent that the presses were having a hard
time delivering the quality and color of the giclee proofs. They evolved into the new
darlings of the art world. They are coveted by collectors for their fidelity and quality.
