The motif in Two People is one of the simplest of all of Munch’s motifs relating to the theme of love. We see the characteristic shoreline with the large rocks at Aasgaardsstrand, a woman dressed in light clothing and a man in dark clothing with his back to us. She is looking out to sea, he is half turned towards her. Munch made several graphic variations of the motif, all with the point of departure in a painting which was lost in a shipping accident in 1901. Munch had an experimenting approach and developed his own techniques, which had important consequences for the picture’s expression. In order to simplify the printing process for woodcuts, he sawed up the woodblocks. The individual parts were then rolled out with different colours and then put together again like a jigsaw puzzle before being put through the printing press. In this way Munch had made a multicoloured print in just one single operation. This woodcut from 1899 is printed from one block sawn into three parts: the shore and the man in one part, the woman in another part, and the sea in the third part. The expression in the motif has thus become further simplified and concentrated. In her strict, closed form the woman seems isolated and unavailable to the man who appears to be approaching her. The motif has also been called The Lonely ones.

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.
