Description
An art print is a high quality image printed on heavy paper. Art prints are available in a multitude of sizes and are designed to be framed. There are thousands of images from across a myriad of genres including the great masters like Van Gogh and Monet.
Some art prints fill the page, but a majority have a border so the size of the image is normally smaller than the size of the paper. The size stated here is the size of the paper.
Some general art print classifications include Fine Art, Contemporary Art, Abstract Art, Pop Art, Vintage Art, Decorative Art and of course Photographic.
Hans Heysen, born in Hamburg, Germany in 1877, migrated to Adelaide in 1884 with his family. Hans bought his first paint set when he was 14, and later began formal art lessons with James Ashton. He began exhibiting regularly in Adelaide. Robert Barr Smith paid Hans Heysen’s fees to study at the Gallery’s School of Design. In late 1899 four prominent Adelaide citizens provided £400 to finance Heysen’s studies in Europe.
