Fred Pansing became a sailor and after five years at sea, he settled in New Jersey establishing himself as a marine painter and portraitist. He also worked in New York and Brooklyn as an artist illustrating sheet music and painting names on steamboats. Pansing worked for American Lithography, and on the side created oil paintings. He is best known for painting steamships for prestigious ocean lines. They were seen as sailing posters, promotional materials aboard ships and in ticket offices. His paintings were also reproduced to grace postcards and puzzles for transatlantic passengers' souvenirs.Â
Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
