About DECORARTS - The Great Wave Off

The Great Wave off Kanagawa The breathtaking composition of this woodblock print, inspired by Debussy's La Mer (The Sea) and Rilke's Der Berg (The Mountain). The painting ensures its reputation as an icon of world art. Hokusai cleverly played with perspective to make Japan's grandest mountain appear as a small triangular mound within the hollow of the cresting wave. The artist became famous for his landscapes created using a palette of indigo and imported Prussian blue. Brand Quality: production from one of the world's leading wall decor manufacturers Made in USA: real handcrafted canvas prints produced and hand-stretched in California About Giclee Prints Giclee printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. There are at least Three basic criteria, which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclee... 1. For giclee printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consists of a 100% cotton base. 2. Any image that is to be printed as a giclee needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). 3. The last step to creating or confirming a true giclee print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclee print is that giclees are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.
