George Barbier (1882 - 1932) was one of the great French illustrators of the early 20th century. After mounting his first exhibition in 1911, he was commissioned to design theater and ballet costumes, illustrate books, and create haute couture fashion illustrations. He also worked in jewelry, glass and wallpaper design, and obtained mainstream popularity through regular magazine articles before dying in 1932, at the height of his career.
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.
