Despair ☵ Munch ☳ Canvas

Despair (1894) by Edvard Munch is one of several works of similar composition depicting the Oslo fjord, the most famous of which being The Scream. The works relate back to a very strong experience of his when going for a walk at sunset. The setting sun suddenly turned the clouds red: "the sunset was particularly vivid ... red, red as blood, coagulated like blood." Despair, Anxiety, and The Scream are only a few of Munch's many depictions of that experience.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas prints, also know as wrapped canvas, are created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern reproduction ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed

⿸ Dimensions

Framed canvases are ~2″ larger, ex. an 8x12″ canvas's final framed dimensions will be ~10x14″ overall

Float frames are ⅝″ wide viewed from the front, and 1⅞″ deep; with a visible gap ("float") between the frame and canvas of ~¼″

Rolled canvases have a 2″ white margin to allow for custom stretching and framing, ex. an 8x12″ print's final dimensions will be 12x16″
