John Albert Bauer was a Swedish painter and illustrator best known for his illustrations of early editions of Bland Tomtar Och Troll, and anthology of Swedish folklore and fairy tales. His work is concerned with landscape and mythology, but he also composed portraits. Bauer and his friends were part of a generation of Swedish painters who started their careers just before the Modernism movement began to flourish. He lived in an era when the Old Norse were romanticized throughout Scandinavia, and borrowed ideas and motifs from artists like Theodor Kittelsen and Erik Werenskiold, yet his finished works were in his own style.
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.
