We have just a few very slightly irregular framed "PINE" canvas giclees available! The matting and the print itself is in perfect condition, it is just the frame that is slightly irregular. Some frames have minor scratches and rubs to the back side (the part that faces the wall), other frames have somewhat less ray flake than our first quality frames (but are none the less beautiful!) All will look perfect when hung on the wall, and we guarantee your satisfaction! This is an unusual opportunity to purchase at big savings over the retail price of $610.00! Matting is your choice of chocolate brown leather or olive green linen. Please email to advise us of your choice! This beautifully framed Open Edition canvas giclee is the perfect accent for the Arts and Crafts, Mission style, Craftsman style or bungalow interior! And if you are interested in Frank Lloyd Wright and his Prairie style, or in Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow style, you will find "PINE" to be a lovely compliment. Nationally renowned artist ANITA MUNMAN now produces "Pine" and other canvas giclees directly from her original paintings, which have been featured in national design publications such as Better Homes & Gardens, Country Living and Country Home.
Historically accurate in framing and subject matter, this high quality, sophisticated work of art will enhance your home and add pleasure to your life for many years to come. It also offers an extraordinary value, as the highest quality materials are used in the production and construction of every Anita Munman framed giclee.
Each giclee is printed on premium quality 100% acid-free canvas with archival quality colorfast inks. These inks contain a special protective chemical that blocks the sun's damaging UV rays. An additional topcoat of matte finish sealant is applied to the surface of the canvas before framing, offering further protection. The result is an heirloom quality, durable work of art that can be cleaned with a soft dry cloth.
FRAMING
Historic accuracy is very important to us, so we offer only authentically styled true mortise and tenon frames that are crafted entirely by hand. The historically accurate design of these extraordinary frames, complete with recessed horizontals and corner pegging, offers the perfect compliment to your Arts & Crafts style interior.
We use only the highest quality quartersawn white oak in the production of our frames. Our lumber is produced from white oak that is first quartered, and then cuts are made perpendicular to the tree rings. This produces the dramatic ray flake patterns seen in the diagram below. Such patterns inherent in the oak became the distinguishing characteristic of Arts & Crafts period furniture.
Each board used in our frames is hand selected for its ray flake content and quality. Upon receipt of the raw lumber from the mill, every board is evaluated, and at this point in our selection process it is common for us to incur a 30% loss. The wood is them milled and ripped to the appropriate width and height, which is a process that exposes more of the true character of the board in terms of defects and ray flake content. The boards are then reevaluated, and at this point it is common for us to incur an another 30% loss.
After this rigorous selection process is complete, the wood is ready to be surfaced on all four sides. The end of each board is first marked to outline the ray flake, and that board is then placed on a surfacing machine in the direction that will allow trimming to expose even more ray flake. This labor intensive and time consuming process of surfacing our boards assures 100% consistency and accuracy among the boards.
Once the boards are surfaced, the wood is ready to be cut to the desired size for the vertical and horizontal members. Once cut, the vertical pieces, which are 2 inches wide, are placed into a mortising machine, which carefully cuts a slot, or mortise, to accept the horizontal tenon. The tenon is cut into the horizontal members, which are 3 inches wide, and the pieces are fitted and clamped. A hole is drilled completely through the joints, and a dowel is then placed through this hole, locking the frame together. The structural integrity of the mortise and tenon joint is incomparable, and it is valued highly by collectors as the hallmark of fine furniture.
Once the frame is completely assembled, it is sanded by hand several times to prepare the wood for finishing. Our finishing process is as historic as our frame design and production process, following Gustav Stickley's time-honored four step process of sanding, staining, sanding again and finally sealing with a hand-rubbed wax. This process imparts an antique patina that is unparalleled in the contemporary furniture marketplace.
The result of all of this labor-intensive handcrafting and careful production is an heirloom quality historically accurate piece of furniture that is stain resistant, mar resistant, water resistant and low maintenance. All that is required to maintain its beauty is simply dusting with a soft dry cloth.
The matting is available in your choice of either chocolate brown leatherette or olive green linen. A ½" raised interior oak fillet, which is stained to match the frame, adds a distinctive finishing touch. The final effect of this beautifully crafted work of art is stunning, both visually and historically!
Corner
The highest quality materials are used in the assembly process as well, such as stainless steel hardware, hand-wrapped heavyweight stainless picture wire, clear rubber bumpers at each corner and premium black sealer paper to protect the canvas. Wall mount hardware for hanging your new giclee is also included.
Back
Also included with this work of art is an official Certificate of Authenticity, which is signed personally by Anita Munman on the date your work of art is produced. For your reference, a complimentary copy of the artist's biography is also included.
Historic authenticity has always been the artistic goal of Anita Munman's paintings and prints. She says of her work and of "Pine" in particular:
The American Arts & Crafts movement placed a significant emphasis on the home, and particularly on the quality and the individuality of the decorative elements placed in it. Equally important was the fundamental philosophical principle that equated living well with living simply and honestly. For this reason, the artists and craftsmen of the period sought to express these values in their designs while achieving the highest quality in their craftsmanship. . .ideals that were at odds with the developing mass production of the machine-driven Industrial Revolution. It is these artists' commitment to quality and hand craftsmanship that has inspired me to create the works of art that I offer.
Each of my paintings and prints is based on extensive historic research of the styles of noted artists of the period. My artistic goal is to create images that incorporate the styles of these noted artists, while recalling the pictorial flatness and color intensity of the Japanese prints that were so popular and influential during the period. And my ultimate goal in creating this collection of period-inspired paintings and prints for the Arts & Crafts interior is to achieve the same high quality of craftsmanship that characterized the Craftsman ideal and to do so at an affordable price.
"Pine" - - and its companion piece "Mountain Trail" - - celebrates the extraordinary accomplishments of the California woodblock print artists, ca. 1900-1940. At the core of their artistic expression lay hand craftsmanship, from the carving of the printing blocks to the hand printing process on hand made paper. It is this level of hand craftsmanship that is the purest expression of the Arts & Crafts period as a whole. Hand craftsmanship is implicit in everything that the Arts & Crafts movement stood for at its genesis and still stands for today.
