This Gift Collection vitreograph "Happy Anniversary" tells a love story: a woman sips a cup of wine at her leisure. Her loved one, rather than buying her flowers in a traditional romantic gesture, paints her a Picasso. The image is painted on three levels - 2 levels of glass and a background on paper. Internal frames hold the levels apart from one another, creating a three-dimensional painting. This unique technique was developed by artist Jean-Pierre Weill which he calls vitreography. The Gift Collection vitreographs come in a variety of designs. They are all designed by hand, and produced by a combination of hand-pulled serigraphs and print lithography. Their classic frames are specially designed to hold the three-dimensional wall art. A hook on the back makes it easy to hang the painting on a single nail. Under direct lighting the painting on the front levels cast shadows on the background, enlivening the painting and creating the illusion of greater depth! Highly recommended!
