Display & Care

We want you to enjoy your fine art print for many years to come. Follow these simple tips to preserve its beauty and display it like a pro:

Caring for Your Print

  • Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Hang your print in a well-lit room but away from direct sunlight to preserve its vibrant colors and prevent fading.
  • Maintain a Dry Environment: Avoid placing your print in humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens to protect it from moisture.
  • Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to lightly dust your print occasionally. Avoid cleaning sprays to prevent damage.

Framing Your Artwork

  • Acid-Free Mats Are Key: Opt for acid-free mats when framing to prevent yellowing and keep your print in pristine condition.

Hanging Tips

  • Eye-Level Hanging: Hang your artwork so the center is at eye level—around 57 to 60 inches from the floor—for optimal viewing.
  • Create a Gallery Wall: Display multiple prints as a gallery wall for a cohesive and stylish look. Keep even spacing between each piece.
  • Lighting and Placement: Find a spot with gentle lighting that complements your artwork. Avoid excessive direct sun or heat to ensure longevity.

About the artist: María Blanchard

Maria Blanchard, born María Gutiérrez Cueto, was a Spanish painter known for her emotional depth and technical brilliance. Despite facing physical and social challenges due to a severe spinal deformity, she became a key figure in the Cubist movement and later developed a unique style that blended Cubist structure with expressive humanism.

She studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid and later in Paris, where she was influenced by avant-garde movements and artists like Juan Gris and Diego Rivera. Her Cubist works, such as "Nature morte cubiste," exhibit her ability to deconstruct and reassemble forms, while her later works, like "Woman with a Fan," demonstrate a more figurative and expressive approach.

Blanchard gained recognition in her lifetime, exhibiting in major salons and galleries in Paris, though she did not achieve the same level of fame as some of her contemporaries. Her legacy lies in her unique ability to combine formal Cubist innovations with a deeply personal and expressive style. She passed away on April 5, 1932, in Paris, leaving behind a body of work celebrated for its innovation and emotional impact.
