American Masters: Homer, Sargent and Cassatt Prints

The painters in this collection

Three American painters anchor this collection: Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt. Homer's The Gulf Stream (1899) sits alongside Cassatt's The Boating Party (1893/1894) and Sargent's Street in Venice (1882).

You will also find George Bellows, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Cole and James McNeill Whistler hanging in the same collection.

Every work here is out of copyright in the USA, so anyone can print it. Some were published in 1930 or earlier. Others were made by the US government, as with the WPA national park posters. Files from public collections are cleaned, never repainted.

Choosing a size for a seascape, a portrait or a figure

Sizing starts with your wall. A pair of 18 x 24 in canvases sits nicely above a sofa, and a single 24 x 36 in canvas works above a bed. As a guide, art hung over furniture runs about two thirds of that piece's width.

Each American masters picture comes three ways. The unframed art print is archival giclée on 200gsm matte paper. The framed print sets a thin wood frame with an oak look around clear acrylic, and a hook comes fitted to the back. Canvas is 400gsm on a stretcher about 1.5 in deep, and it arrives without hanging hardware.

Each artwork shows the sizes it prints best at. A size appears wherever the picture fills that shape with a slight trim and the file still holds detail. The preview shows the crop you will get. The ready-made wall art collection covers the rest, with related work in the impressionist masters collection.
