about charles m. russell
Charles M. Russell - Montana's most famous artist, and, along with Frederic Remington, one of the two most famous artists ever to paint the West - was born in St. Louis, Missouri on March 19, 1864. He came to Montana in 1880, at the age of 16, just four years after Custer's fatal last stand at the Little Big Horn.
His first job in Montana was sheepherder - and he was terrible at it. "I'd lose the damn things as fast as they put 'em on the ranch," he said later. Fired from that job, he helped professional meat hunter, Jake...
A giclee (pronounced zhee-CLAY, a French term meaning "spray of ink") is a high-resolution, high-quality reproduction individually printed on a special large format printer. These beautiful digital reproductions are virtually unparalleled in quality and range of color, and are at the leading edge of fine art printmaking.
benefits of a giclee
Color: Traditional fine art printing is normally lithography. Lithographs are made up of tiny dots of four individual ink colors. Giclees not only incorporate more ink colors, but they have such high resolution and color range that there are no dots comprising a giclee print, rather it is a continuous smooth tone of vibrant and rich color.
Quality: Each of our fine art giclee prints are digitally prepared for the printer and then meticulously scrutinized by our team of printmakers to ensure quality and color correctness. Giclee printing is widely recognized as being the highest quality of all existing fine art printing methods.
Paper: We use 100% cotton acid-free archival fine art paper for all of our giclee prints. We feel that the quality of the paper is reflected in the quality of the print, which is why we choose to only use the highest quality paper media available.
