The Canvas
Give your walls a unique look. Our Premier Image Canvas is a collection of highly curated premium images at an amazing value. Premier Image Canvas are created using the same quality process and components as our regular stretched canvas print. We use only cotton-poly blend artist-grade canvas and 1.5-inch 100% pine stretcher bars. Sides are mirror edged, giving the canvas a reflection-like appearance without losing any of the original image. Professionally stretched canvases are printed with latex inks that retain color and resist humidity. If not already shown framed, most canvas pieces can be customized with a wide selection of mouldings to suit your style. Your piece comes ready to display with a sawtooth hanger. Note: If your image is not conducive to mirror edging, black fabric taping will be used to finish the sides.

The Artist
Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849) dominated Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing, meaning “pictures of the floating world,” or everyday life. Hokusai, who changed his name each time he changed artistic styles, is best known for his woodblock print series “Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji,” which includes the iconic “The Great Wave Off Kanagawa.” He was extraordinarily prolific between 1796 and 1820, producing an estimated 30,000 book illustrations and color prints inspired by Japanese traditions, legends and daily life. Hokusai created his most important works after age 60, in which Mount Fuji was often a spiritually significant element. His art enormously impacted Impressionists, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec.
