Questions About Wpa Original Prints
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    To tell if a print is an original, examine the details closely. Typically, original prints feature high-quality textured paper rather than smooth poster-type paper. In addition, original prints will usually feature the artist's signature and a number in pencil or pen. If the signature is printed on it, the print is less likely to be original. When in doubt, a knowledgeable art dealer or experienced appraiser can assist you with identifying original prints. Shop a large collection of prints on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 25, 2024
    How prints are made from original paintings varies. For centuries, the primary methods were traditional printmaking techniques such as engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint and woodcut. Today, many artists use digital technology, scanning and photographing paintings and then using the files to produce giclée prints using large, specialized inkjet printers. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of art prints.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024
    To tell a print from an original painting, study its surface carefully. On a painting, you will likely notice variations in texture and see visible brushstrokes. Prints are more likely to appear smooth due to the printing process. However, some prints may be enhanced with hand-applied brushwork after the production process, which may make it more difficult to tell a painting from a print. When in doubt, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer. Explore a wide range of fine art on 1stDibs.
