Gauguin: Siesta, 1891 Giclee Print by Paul Gauguin at AllPosters.com

The discovery of Impressionist art had such a profound impact on Paul Gauguin’s that he left his successful stockbroker career and his family to pursue it. Living as the proverbial starving artist, he invented a style he coined “Synthetism” which became a Post-Impressionist form of modern art symbolized by nature through primitive subjects, massive simplified forms and bright color planes. Gauguin’s work exudes the feeling of escape from civilization. In fact, while in Tahiti he discovered the flat forms, vibrant colors and untamed nature of primitive art that became his signature style.

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.

Purchase Reason

Comments:

I ordered the largest size this came in, because it was for a large wall space. The expansion they did on the piece produced a very blurry image. In addition, I paid extra for the more expensive 'professional giclee.' This is not a 'professional giclee' by any means -- it's an oversize poster that looks terrible! Definitely not worth what I paid for it, I am sending it back ASAP.
