Edge of the Forest Giclee Print by Paul Ranson at AllPosters.com

Exotic motifs and Asian nuances permeate Paul Ranson’s “Apple Tree with Red Fruit.” Ranson (1864 – 1909) led post-Impressionist French artists who blended images of nature with personal symbols and metaphors, influencing abstract and non-representational art. Influenced by Art Nouveau designs and Japanese prints, Ranson’s subjects were based less upon nature, however, than exotic, symbolic and semi-religious themes.

Paul Ranson (1864 – 1909) led the post-Impressionist, avant-garde Nabis, Parisian artists who fused images of nature, personal metaphors and symbols. Ranson placed less emphasis upon nature, depicting exotic, symbolic or semi-religious themes. His fascination with black magic, mysticism and Buddhism permeated his symbolism, and his fluid, linear technique was derived from Japanese prints and Art Nouveau designs. Also a decorative artist, Ranson created tapestries, stained glass, lithographs and ceramics. Meaning “prophets,” the Nabis influenced the development of abstract and non-representational art.

This giclée print offers beautiful color accuracy. Giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface creating natural color transitions. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is a great option for framing with its smooth, acid free surface.
