Som et respektfullt og lovlig alternativ tilbyr vi skreddersydde, håndmalte kunstverk inspirert av originalen. Våre dyktige og profesjonelle kunstnere studerer nøye originalens stil, stemning og kunstneriske essens for å skape et nytt og unikt verk som vekker den samme følelsen – samtidig som det forblir en original skapelse i seg selv.

Denne metoden er i fullt samsvar med opphavsrettslige regler, da den ikke innebærer kopiering eller duplisering av det beskyttede kunstverket. I stedet er det snakk om en kreativ nytolkning – et nytt maleri som er inspirert av originalen, men ikke identisk med den.

§ 3Commentary

A fine painter in the Academic style, Solomon was co-founder of the Society of Portrait Painters, a founder member and first President of the Maccabeans, and later Head of the Art Committee of the Jewish Education Aid Society, which organised loans to help the majority of the Whitechapel Boys to attend the Slade School of Art. In 1906 Solomon became only the second Jewish Royal Academician and was President of the Ben Uri from 1924–26. Solomon was well-known for his historical and biblical works and for his society portraiture. His annual contributions to the Royal Academy Exhibition were hung in what came to be known as ‘Solomon’s corner.’ Although a practising Jew, he rarely painted works with overtly Jewish themes, though he did make portraits of some of the leading Jewish figures of the day.During the First World War Solomon pioneered camouflage work for tanks and aeroplanes, sometimes in the thick of the fighting, despite being 54 at the outbreak of hostilities. In addition, he also sculpted dummy heads to attract fire in order to locate snipers and developed hollow, metal and bark-covered Observational Post Trees, where lookouts could hide along the front line. After the war, he continued painting portraits until his death in 1927.Solomon’s richly-decorated interior of the family bungalow at Birchington, Kent (where his brother-in-law Delissa Joseph, had built him a second studio) depicts his wife Ella and youngest daughter Iris (later the Hon Mrs Ewen Montagu) in the comfortable intimacy of the breakfast room. Iris is denoted only by her hand holding the newspaper and her dangling leg with its fashionable shoe. On the wall behind a selection of paintings by Solomon includes one of his older daughter, Mary, on her pony (the landscape is by another painter). Solomon’s tasteful and opulent breakfast room reveals the extent of his identification with English life; the only reference to his Jewish origins is the two candlesticks upon the mantelpiece.The Ben Uri Collection features six works by Solomon, including the magnificent portrait of Mary, The Field: The Artist’s Daughter on a Pony, which was presented by his widow in 1937.

Innramming av reproduksjon

-

For kunstverk eller reproduksjoner som er større enn 105 cm (ca. 41 tommer) på noen side, vil rammen bli sendt som et sett som må monteres. Denne metoden sikrer trygg levering og forhindrer skader under transport.

Krever profesjonell montering – dette er ikke et DIY-produkt.
Settet må monteres og lerretet strammes av en erfaren profesjonell rammelegger, ved bruk av trelim (følger ikke med), en lerretstang og klemmer for å holde rammelisten vinkelrett mens limet tørker. Feilaktig montering eller ujevn stramming av lerretet kan påføre kunstverket permanente skader og er ikke dekket av vår garanti.

Alle massive trelister er inkludert, presist tilpasset i størrelse.
Monteres med de medfølgende skruene, samt trelim til hjørnene, som ikke er inkludert og må anskaffes av din rammehandler.
Profesjonelt verktøy er nødvendig og er ikke inkludert: en lerretstang (strammer) og klemmer for å holde rammene vinkelrette mens limet tørker.

Viktig:
Hjørnene krever trelim, listene må holdes på plass med tvinger til limet er helt tørt, og stramming av lerretet på den ferdige rammen krever en lerretstang. Ingen av disse produktene er inkludert i settet. Vennligst sørg for tilgang til en erfaren profesjonell rammehandler før du bestiller denne størrelsen.
