Giclée + Other Art Terms

Giclée: From the French verb gicler, meaning, “to spray.” It is pronounced “zhee-clay”. The giclée process uses an incredibly accurate computer-controlled jet to apply ink to watercolor paper, canvas or etching paper. These unique jets are able to vary the width of the ink stream to as small as 1/100th the width of human hair. Giclées have a higher resolution than offset lithographs and the dynamic color range is greater than serigraph. Giclée reproductions are used to produce museum quality, fine art reproductions. In the art world it is generally regarded as the highest quality reproduction available.

About

Charles Billich

Bio

It can certainly be said that Charles Billich is one of the most important living artists in the world and at 88 years of age he is also one of the most credentialed artists of all time. Indeed, his extensive list of awards and achievements are almost beyond comprehension.  

To have the privilege of watching him at his easel is to witness a magician with a paintbrush. Effortlessly, imagery appears as if by divine intervention. Yet, there is always something deliberately left out, and it’s the viewer who completes the image. If accolades were the only measure of success, Billich surpassed that benchmark long ago. In an art world overflowing with self-interest, misguided choices and hype, the elements of relevance, authenticity, and uniqueness, which the artworks of Billich represent, remain the rarest of qualities.  

In fact, these are some of the most important considerations for the thinking collector. Billich paintings grace the walls of some of the most hallowed locations around the world, and his collectors are among the most influential people of our era. As the pages of history continue to turn, it’s the true masters of the human condition that transcend space and time. They are historical entries that celebrate a relentless commitment to the creation of artworks that inspire and endure. Charles Billich is such an artist: he is as charismatic as he is talented; Whether you are acquiring for investment or the sheer joy of owning a modern master, few artists have accomplished so much in one lifetime.
