Art
prints are reproductions of original paintings, most of which are, though not
necessarily, highly priced and made by famous painters. Art Prints are available
for most paintings seen in museums and exhibitions around the world, as well as
for an increasing number of paintings made by a growing list of contemporary
artists.
The
beauty of art prints is that they allow for copies, which are in many ways
similar to the originals (except of course that they are not) to be available at
affordable prices to the public. When purchasing art prints, it is very
important that you obtain very good frames. Frames help to bring out the beauty
of paintings, making it important that the particular frame selected matches the
painting very well.
Often,
the best art print–frame combinations are those for which no matting is
applied. Matting refers to the application of a mat, which is a decorative
border that provides a contrast between the painting and the frame. Art prints
generally tend to look more professional and much more like the original
paintings rather than reproduced copies when no matting is applied. If matting
must be applied, it ought to be done in such a way that the colors of the
painting, mat and frame complement each other very well.
A
number of finishing options are also available. While some art prints are
canvas-textured, others are paper-based and glazed with acrylic. While the
acrylic glazed ones are generally cheaper and very nice, the superior appearance
of those textured on canvas is in no doubt. Glazing tends to cause glaring,
which is the reflection of light by the print. To overcome this problem,
non-glaring acrylic glaze was developed. Non-glaring acrylic glazed art prints
are generally more expensive than the acrylic glazed ones.
With
the right frames and finishing options in mind you can bet on selecting art
prints that look and possibly feel like the original paintings they depict. The
beauty created by this accessory to your interior décor, be it at home, in the
office, in a hospital or restaurant cannot be overemphasized.
