This beach scene, which appeared in the December 1970 GQ, is a precursor to much of the fashion advertising we see today. Photographer Mark Patiky captures two models cavorting in the surf. She wears the better half of a black bathing suit, while he sports Oleg Cassini for Sea Mark red-on-blue Union JackÐinspired, boxer-style swim trunks with a matching white webbed belt. The aerial view allows the photographer to immortalize this couple in an intimate moment just before they're interrupted by an oncoming wave, which makes this work even more romantic.
The premium giclée print is produced on thick (310 gsm), textured watercolor paper made from alpha cellulous wood pulp that is acid free. It shares the same vivid colors, accuracy, and exceptional resolution that make giclée prints the standard for museums and galleries around the world.
The premium photographic print is digitally printed on high-gloss premium photographic paper. The result is a unique silver pearlescent finish with stunning visual impact and depth, suitable for museum or gallery display.
The stretched canvas print is the result of sophisticated digital printing technology in which the image is printed directly onto an artist-grade, 100% cotton canvas. The canvas is then expertly stretched around 1.5" wooden bars and carefully finished with hand-painted edges. An acrylic coating protects the stunning giclée print from dust, moisture and fading. (Canvas may not be available for all prints.)
