Bruno Liljefors, 1886 - Jays - fine art print

Additional description by Nationalmuseum Stockholm (© Copyright - by Nationalmuseum Stockholm - Nationalmuseum Stockholm)

English: In Bruno Liljefors painting of jays, for a second one meets a bird's gaze just before it lifts to accompany its friend over the fields. This is a frozen moment. Just as in a photograph of nature with the focus on the bird, the background is somewhat diffuse and sketchy. The beautiful and almost decorative twig that the bird is sitting on is placed to the left of the picture rather than centrally in the middle. The whole composition is asymmetrical and there is strong contrast between foreground and background. Liljefors borrowed inspiration to the somewhat unusual composition in Japanese woodcuts. Characteristic of these prints is the daring use of the surface, the absence of depth and the stylization they employ. But Liljefors never became as completely decorative and stylized in his painting as the Japanese. Rather, he created a synthesis of Japanese perspective and composition and his own realism. I Bruno Liljefors målning Nötskrika möter man för en sekund fågelns blick innan den ska lyfta och följa sin vän i flykt över fältet. Det är ett fruset ögonblick. Precis som i ett naturfotografi med fokus inställt på fågeln är bakgrunden lite diffus och skissartad. Den vackra nästan dekorativa kvisten som fågeln sitter på är placerad till vänster i bild, inte centralt i mitten. Kompositionen, bildens sammansättning, är asymmetrisk med en stark kontrast mellan förgrund och bakgrund. Den spännande och lite ovanliga kompositionen i Nötskrikan har Liljefors hämtat inspiration till från japanska trätryck. De karaktäriseras av djärva bildutsnitt, ytmässighet och stilisering. Men Liljefors blev aldrig lika dekorativ och stiliserande i sitt måleri som japanerna. Istället skapade han en sammansmältning av japanskt perspektiv och komposition och sin egen realism.

Materials you can choose from

We offer a range of different sizes and materials for every product. Hence, we allow you to choose among the following options:

• Printed acrylic glass: A glossy print on acrylic glass, which is often described as a fine art print on plexiglass, transforms your favorite original into brilliant home décor and makes a good alternative option to canvas and aluminidum dibond prints. The artwork is manufactured with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. This makes stunning, intense colors. With an acrylic glass fine art print sharp contrasts plus small painting details will be more visible with the help of the subtle gradation of the picture. The real glass coating protects your custom fine art print against sunlight and external influences for up to six decades.
• Canvas: A UV printed canvas mounted on a wooden frame. It generates a special effect of three dimensionality. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is quite simple to hang the Canvas print without additional wall-mounts. Because of thatcanvas prints are suitable for any kind of wall.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are metal prints with an impressive depth effect, which makes a contemporary impression with a surface structure, which is non-reflective. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to the sophisticated world of art prints manufactured on aluminum. The bright and white sections of the original artwork shimmer with a silk gloss, however without the glow. The direct UV print on Aluminum Dibond is one of the most popular entry-level products and is an extremely modern way to showcase fine art reproductions, since it puts all of the viewer’s focus on the whole artwork.
• Printed poster on canvas material: Our poster is a printed canvas paper with a granular structure on the surface. The poster print is optimally appropriate for framing the art print in a special frame. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the print motif to facilitate the framing with your custom frame.
