Looking for Canvas Art? Why Giclee Canvas Prints are the Right Choice

Prior to the introduction of methods of reproduction for fine art, purchasing an art work can make quite a dent to your budget. The most expensive of canvas paintings to date was Jackson Pollock’s “No. 5, 1948”, which was sold for an estimated amount of a staggering $150 million. A price like this is a deal-breaker if you are just a regular person who happens to appreciate art and wants to have something to accent your home or your office. The best alternative then – if you aren’t the old-school art collector who frowns upon fine art canvas prints – is a giclee art print.

Giclee canvas prints are, simplistically speaking, images that have been transferred to canvas using the giclee method which employs inkjet printers. As opposed to lithograph canvas prints and serigraph canvas prints, glicee canvas prints are preferred due to their quality. This is because in other methods of canvas transfer canvas prints are at times off in color or are prone to fading. Also, fewer steps are undergone in making a stretched canvas print via giclee – making it less prone to the “photocopy of a photocopy” phenomenon that makes for poor quality, albeit original canvas prints. Another advantage of giclee canvas prints aside from their superiority in terms of color and resolution is the price. A vintage art giclee on canvas will cost far less than the actual art piece.

The benefits of giclee canvas prints extend not only to buyers and art enthusiasts but to the artists themselves. Without reproduction, an artwork can be sold only once, and can thus can be appreciated or enjoyed by a limited number of people. Therefore for the artist canvas prints of their original work are a means to let more people take pleasure in their work without costing them a lot.

If you are an art enthusiast, you can buy from ebay canvas prints that are high in quality but cheaper in cost. And these aren’t limited to fine art: there are also amazing photo canvas prints – or more specifically, giclee canvas pictures - that you can buy from authentic sellers on the Internet.
