Mlle Modiste - Howard Taft Lorenz Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Somebody has dealt this bedroom face up. Heart cards fan out under a rope of pearls and a ring. Over them a crowned queen of hearts grins from her narrow panel, her throat drawn out to a stem.

She is a shop-window mannequin in burnt sienna, bald and long-necked, two breasts stacked inside a lamp-black strap. One leg kicks at the ceiling. Her ear has wandered off wearing its earring, and a braided ochre toque hovers above a skull too smooth to hold it. Carmine lips wait in a saffron triangle. Behind her spreads a viridian dress form, the one unbroken body on the premises.

To the right, still life turns vanitas. Aubergine grapes crowd a copper decanter that wears a crown, and an alizarin rose stays within its frame. A cob of corn rests beside one orange. Through a slatted blind comes a strip of Prussian blue night.

Howard Taft Lorenz built Mlle Modiste for the New Deal’s easel division in 1930s Manhattan, and the surface holds its decisions. Soot and peacock teal lie in thin scumbles. Flaked pigment opens onto ivory ground. Social Surrealists were turning hunger into dreams that decade, and here that hunger gets a boudoir. Near the floor a card shows one high-heeled shoe, its bow tied, waiting for a foot.
