In Privat Livemont’s exceptionally colored, detailed posters, beautiful women hold glasses of absinthe aloft as though receiving a sacred elixir from the gods. The Belgian artist was renowned for his absinthe-themed Art Nouveau advertisements. Originally a painter, his career took an unanticipated turn when a poster he designed won first prize prompting his to learn lithography. Livemont's (1861 – 1936) iconic works are displayed in museums and galleries worldwide.
This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
