Because Cézanne viewed only oil paintings as finished works, none of his watercolor paintings were revealed to the public during his lifetime. But no study of Cézanne's artistic career would be complete without a look at these watercolors. Cézanne became seriously engaged with the medium of watercolor during the 1880s; this coincided with the period in which he was pursuing structural composition. Even in these rough sketches, it seems that Cézanne placed less emphasis on his subject than he did on the composition of color. (Source: The Digital Gallery. 1999-2006)

- Object notes (Japanese): セザンヌは油彩画だけを完成作と見なしていたため、水彩画はデッサンと同様、生前は全く公開されることがなかった。しかし、彼の水彩画は現存するものに限っても300点を超え、油彩画との関連のみならずその独立した価値から見ても、今日では彼の画業を考える上で無視できぬ分野となっている。セザンヌは1860年代後半から水彩に手を染めていたが、積極的に取り組むようになったのは1880年代以降である。それは即ち、印象主義と訣別して構築的な画面構成を追求し、それが完成した時期にあたる。彼は水彩の自由な筆致と澄明な色彩がいかにして対象の本質に迫り得るか、さまざまに試みた。本作品では、軽く置かれた朱と青と青緑が、控え目ながら互いに強い緊迫感を保って、一分の隙もない密度をもたらしている。ここでもわかるように、セザンヌは対象を描くというよりも、小さな色面で対象を撫で、重みを計り、これをつかみ出そうとするのである。（出典: 国立西洋美術館名作選. 東京, 国立西洋美術館, 2004. cat. no. 89）

Giclée Quality Guarantee:
Giclée printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. The word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.
There are at least three basic criteria which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclée...
- For giclée printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consist of a 100% cotton base.
- Any image that is to be printed as a giclée needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). This is to ensure that the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.
- The last step to creating or confirming a true giclée print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclée print is that giclées 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.
The Quality :
The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
With Giclée printing technology, we are able to provide the best possible quality for the reproduction of fine art masterpieces as well as your personal photos. Our prints capture the subtlest of colors and contrasts, while retaining superb image sharpness.
