Friedrich Julius Oskar Blumner was a German-born American Modernist painter. After studying painting and architecture at the Royal Academy of Design in Berlin, Bluemner moved to Chicago and freelanced as a draftsman at the World's Columbian Exposition. Despite having minor success in the 1913 Armory Show and the Federal Arts Project, Bluemner was unable to find steady employment and spent most of his live in poverty.
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.
