Living Prints® Gicleé On-line


Spelling Gicleé

If you go elsewhere on the Web, you will be able to search out the spelling. This may vary, since the term is quite fresh in the lexicon of fine art prints. For example, one site puts the accent on the final letter of the word. In a new book, however, Contemporary Printmaking in the Northwest by Lois Allan, her spelling puts the accent on the next-to-the-last letter. Which is correct? you may well wonder.

The artist was invited to join with others in a gicleé publishing experience with images from his VideoYear Journals. He started with the one at the left.

You can see the final versions by selecting them.
