Message:: [QUOTE="TT Antique, post: 221720, member: 2653"]Hi AllI have a vintage "print"  by a french  artist called Maruis Girard. He was a prolific artist in the 1950s-60s paris  mostly working in watercoulours. I read he made a good fortune from beautiful prints and postcards of his works. Confusions abound in describing his prints on the internet. I have not come to any resource  referring him being a printmaker. But I am not sure. Hence I am assuming  the prints and repors  based on his  original watercolour and oil paintings were made in printing houses in huge numbers.But as the  prints from the presses used lithograph methods some have described the prints "lithograph" prints , "watercolour prints using lithography" etc..but such descriptions could be misleading.Furthermore the signature and title seem to resemble pencil writings (luring some to claim pencil signature) ...but actually the signatures are prints  within the lithos. I have attached one vintage printwork. How can one describe such a print accurately? The word "lithograph print " might wrongly suggest "original lithograph print" hence  can one say " photomechanical lithograph print?"..also is " watercolor print" accurate? The prints are based on original watercolour paintings.Any ideas for better description are welcome.Also any further info on the artist.thanks!
