The Future of Custom Art Reproduction

 

Fueled by an innate passion and understanding of the beauty of life, the urge to create works of art has been with man from the earliest recorded past. Even in cave dwellings, walls were decorated with drawings and paintings; images of the surrounding world. In Egypt, Greece, Persia and Rome, domestic and religious buildings housed numerous sculptures and works of art. During most of these periods, and continuing through the Middle Ages, the art works were one of a kind, commissioned and owned by persons of substantial wealth.

It was only with the advent of the woodcut and metal engraving in the 15th Century that affordable reproductions and original works of art became accessible to larger numbers of people. The establishment of commercial lithography accelerated this development, and modern printing technology has finally brought full color prints into the lives of millions who, in other times, had been estranged from the world of "high" art. Most paper print reproductions are made in sizes of up to 24 x 36 inches, in most cases smaller than the original painting. Until now, the decoration of large spaces with works of art, however desirable from an aesthetic point of view, has been economically prohibitive for most people.

The 5 Centuries of Art™ collection at Art Publishing.Com first bridged this gap, with custom oil-based master reproductions on canvas in large sizes. The more sizable paintings create a strong and exciting visual impact on viewers.

PersianPaintings.Com, in association with 5 Centuries of Art™ at ArtPublishing.Com, museums, collectors, artists, galleries and other art publishers, now offers specially prepared canvas art reproduction by demand. Please e-mail us with the name of your favorite artist, the title of the painting and the size you are looking for. The Persian masterpiece of your choice may be ordered in the appropriate size for your gallery or individual needs.

Tim Siahatgar, the inventor and developer of the Linograph™, Repligraph® and Digitograf™ reproduction processes, has always dreamed of undertaking an art publishing endeavor, using his processes to introduce established Persian artists to the world at large. Following several years of development and research, the perfected Repligraph® and Digitograf™ processes were put to use in the reproduction of art works for renowned artists, galleries, and publishers. As a result, the Digitograf™ is now a household name in the art world, representing quality reproductions with true likeness to the originals.

PersianPaintings.Com utilizes the exclusive Digitograf™ process that allows for high quality master reproduction in large sizes. The Digitograf™ is oil-based and custom-produced, one at a time. Each piece is hand-crafted on order, with careful attention to all the color and detail of the original. Connoisseurs of fine Persian art now have the pleasure of being able to purchase a Digitograf™ Master Edition, from the artist and period of their preference, in any size appropriate for their home or office, at an affordable price.
