I just returned from Decor Expo in NYC and had a great time and spent a bunch of money on some new equipment. One of the things that I was looking for at the show and did not find is a source for reproductions on canvas of famous works. There were 10 million vendors selling original art on canvas (of which I bought a few) but none selling reproductions.
Does anyone know a source of canvases (stretched or unstretched) for artists like Waterhouse, Chabas, Renoir, etc? I currently have a customer for Chabas's "September Morn" if I can find one. I see a number of retailers online selling repros but can't find a wholesaler. My store (which is an antique store as well as a framing store) has sold several of these that I have gotten from house sales. I would prefer a source for canvases that have been "enhanced" as described by one retail source as "Our canvas replica captures the original painting’s texture, depth of color and even its subtle brush strokes, which are applied by hand."
