Framed Giclee Art

In the early 1990s, printmakers introduced giclee art prints as a new way to reproduce artwork using computer-generated images and high-resolution inkjet printers. Giclee prints provide more subtle color gradation than conventional four-color process lithography, which had previously been the most common way to create art prints.
The introduction of framed giclee wall art enabled new ways to reproduce classic works of art. The bold colors of Vincent Van Gogh's Crown Imperial Fritillaries in a Copper Vase are a perfect example and presented well in the giclee print format. The bright yellows and reds in Amedeo Modigliani's Woman with a Fan are positively vibrant when output as giclee. The process is ideal for reproducing watercolor paintings.

Giclee Wall Art

With giclee wall art widely accepted, today's artists create work for the medium using digital techniques. They have broken free of the limitations and expense of the conventional printing process. Colors that appear muted with traditional lithography stand out on a giclee print. Framed giclee art opens up a world of decorating possibilities. The technology allows the transfer of images to either paper or canvas.
