About the Ré Collection & the Beauty of Direct Lithographs

The Ré Collection remastered lithograph you are about to purchase from Telegramme is probably unlike anything you have ever seen before. S2 Art, the US-based atelier that produces these fine art prints, uses extremely rare antique lithographic presses, originally steam-powered, from Germany and France. The process in fact is so labour intensive, it was replaced by a faster, cheaper technology by the Second World War when technical innovations enabled the designer to experiment with changes of scale and colour not previously possible. Lost was the presence of an artist’s hand in the precision of the line, the smooth blending of pure colors in these striking images and unsurpassed works which over time have transcended their advertising message. Lost, until now. The beguiling Art Nouveau beauties and stunning Art Deco vamps are reborn. The layers of distance between you and pioneering designers like Capiello, Bayer and Holwein is reconnected with these touchstones of the Belle Époque and Industrial Age.

Most of the lithographs in this collection have been printed in low editions of about 300. Each of these works of art is numbered sequentially, and comes with a certificate of authenticity which gives you background on its technical and historical context. For a fraction of the cost of a vintage print, here at Telegramme.ca you can own a fine art lithograph printed the exact same way as an original, yet not subject to the ravages of time and environment that have destroyed many of these artifacts from the
history of graphic design.
