Collection du Chat Noir by Theophile Steinlen, 16x24-Inch Canvas Wall Art

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features an advertisement for Chat Noir with a black cat. Theophile Steinlen was a Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker. Steinlen was introduced to the artistic crown at Le Chat Noir that led to his commissions to do poster art for the cabaret owner and other commercial enterprises. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
