Tim Siahatgar, the inventor and developer of the Linograph™, Repligraph® and Digitograf™ processes, has always dreamed of undertaking an art publishing endeavor, using his processes to introduce the master artists of the past five centuries to the public at large. Following several years of development and research, the perfected Repligraph® and Digitograf™ processes were put to use in the reproduction of art works for renowned artists, galleries, and publishers. As a result, the Digitograf™ is now a household name in the art world, representing quality reproductions with true likeness to the originals. Now is the time to introduce the 5 Centuries of Art™ Collection and Digitograf™ Galleries network to connoisseurs of fine art the world over. Fueled by an innate passion and understanding of the beauty of life, the urge to create works of art has been with man from the earliest recorded past. Even in cave dwellings, walls were decorated with drawings and paintings; images of the surrounding world. In Egypt, Greece, Persia and Rome, domestic and religious buildings housed numerous sculptures and works of art. During most of these periods, and continuing through the Middle Ages, the art works were one of a kind, commissioned and owned by persons of substantial wealth. It was only with the advent of the woodcut and metal engraving in the 15th Century that affordable reproductions and original works of art became accessible to larger numbers of people. The establishment of commercial lithography accelerated this development, and modern printing technology has finally brought full color prints into the lives of millions who, in other times, had been estranged from the world of "high" art. Most paper print reproductions are made in sizes of up to 24 x 36 inches, in most cases smaller than the original painting. Until now, the decoration of large spaces with works of art, however desirable from an aesthetic point of view, has been economically prohibitive for most people. 5 Centuries of Art™ at Art Publishing.Com has bridged this gap, with custom oil-based master reproductions on canvas in large sizes. The more sizable paintings create a strong and exciting visual impact on viewers.
Reproductions of all the paintings listed online are available on canvas, in sizes from 16x20 inches up to 44x25 feet. Or, for your Custom Edition Digitograph, we just need a Transparency or Digital File. If you cannot locate your favorite pieces, let us know. We may be able to find them for you through our member museums and galleries worldwide. We will contact the specific artist, collector or museum for one-time permission to reproduce your Custom Master Edition Digitograph™. 5 Centuries of Art™ at Art Publishing.Com utilizes an exclusive Digitograf™ process that allows for high quality master reproduction in large sizes. The Digitograf™ is custom-produced, one at a time, and each is hand-crafted on order, with careful attention to all the color and detail of the original. The paintings are drawn from the collections of the world's great museums. They enable art lovers to decorate their homes and offices with large-size and dramatic works of art by the masters. |
