About Ferdinand Hodler
1853-1918
The art of the Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler has two sides: One is the graphic, close to Art Nouveau, and the other is the veduta with its calmness and power. Hodler, like so many European artists at the turn of the millennium, felt an affinity with symbolism, with the romanticism of contemporary art.
Atmospheric depictions of interiors, individual and group portraits and the depiction of two-dimensional, symbolic nature became Hodler's trademark. The latter is a tribute to the rich landscape of Switzerland of which he is the most important artist. After his first successes and great recognition in Paris and Vienna, Hodler also became known in Germany, where he received commissions for large murals, such as in Hanover and Jena.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
