CapitalistSwine Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Absolutely brilliant. I am always saddened by the fact that the only way I could afford to have these adorn my walls is if they were in posters rather than just the custom-framed linen/canvas prints. Keep up the good work! Edited September 25, 2010 by CapitalistSwine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 CapitalistSwine: I've done a ton of business with Quent Cordair Fine Arts and can unhesitatingly recommend them. There is at least one work available as a poster print: http://www.cordair.com/larsen/anewheight.php (scroll down, it's $45). Also note that actual prints are generally much less expensive than the originals (I can't tell from the context whether or not you know this; I don't think any prints show up in the updates and I don't know whether or not you looked past the update). Here is a webpage listing available prints: http://www.cordair.com/prints.htm. In my experience prints (other than the poster print) range from ~400 to ~2000 dollars. On my thoroughly middle class income I was able to cover quite a bit of wallspace relatively quickly. Also, you can cut your initial investment by ordering the print unframed, and getting the framing done yourself. (This saves on shipping too.) You can simply get the canvas stretched without framing. Then you can hang it on the wall and enjoy it even if it has no frame. (I have an original Gaetano with no frame at present.) However, you have to find a framer in your area who knows what they are doing (this applies to both the stretching and the framing). Avoid the chains (Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Aaron Brothers, etc.) at all costs!! I finally settled on two places near me that I alternate between. Hope this helps--you may be better able to afford this sort of thing than you realize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalistSwine Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) Thanks for all of the information Steve. My main barrier is that I am a poor college student so I cannot really justify decorative elements for my living space that are past $40-50 a picture (a good size poster essentially). I was unaware there was any poster prints at all however so thank you for linking me to one of them, I will take a look. I really love this stuff and wish there were more artist "groups" doing it.

Steve D'Ippolito Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Well, you won't be in college forever. (It just seems that way!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkur Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Keep in mind too that QCFA has a layaway plan. I have 3 originals all of which I paid for on time and one of which I paid for for over a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASKN Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 If you want teeny-little prints of old Romantic art for $35, go to artrenewal.org. They also do 3'x4' prints for around $350, and sizes in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonrobt Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) My quibble on this issue's showing is this 'retro' of imitating classical as a means of expression... that strikes me as lacking in imagination, certainly universalness... far better to have nudes, where it is timeless, or at least within contemporary clothing styles... [am speaking specifically in this case of Larsen's works] Edited September 27, 2010 by anonrobt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
