ABOUT THE ARTWORK
-----------------------------
Vowing to escape European civilization and "everything that is artificial and conventional," Paul Gauguin embarked on an artistic odyssey to rural Tahiti, where he found refuge in an uninhibited tropical paradise. Populated by sensuous nudes fishing, bathing and riding horses, his Tahiti paintings are a series of contradictions. They show all the hallmarks of colonialism, and yet they also endeavor to preserve native mythology at a time when it was being erased by Christian missionaries. The scenes they depict are largely imaginary, and yet they faithfully represent the inner truth of Gauguin's experience on the island.

Gauguin worked in a cloisonnist style, rendering natural forms in bold, flat colors separated by dark contours. In each piece he sought to unify the outward appearance of natural forms and his feelings toward them with the more abstract beauty of line, color and form. He would, for example, use sensuous pinks and purples to represent sand that was, in fact, a drab volcanic brown. Though he was able to sell paintings to fund his stay in Tahihi, the importance of his work would not be fully understood until after his death, when he was rediscovered by Picasso, Matisse and the French avant-garde.

ART-CENTRIC DESIGN
-----------------------------
Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos.

We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art.

Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose.

Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out.

CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS
-----------------------------
We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval.

If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution.

MUSEUM QUALITY
-----------------------------
Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them.

HANDMADE DECLARATION
-----------------------------
To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners.

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
-----------------------------
All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you.

HAPPINESS GUARANTEE
-----------------------------
We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.
