“American Treasure” by Greg Mort, Giclee Print ~ Artist’s Proof, was created by the fine art craftsmen at Westland Printers in Burtonsville, Maryland with archival watercolor inks on museum quality watercolor paper. The image size is 15½" X 15" and the overall paper size is 24" X 24". The “American Treasure” Giclee Print was produced in an edition of ten signed and numbered images.  A small number of Artist Proofs were printed and all are signed signed by the artist.  

Greg Mort created the original “American Treasure” watercolor painting at his Ashton, Maryland studio to honor the American spirit of those who serve our country.  He was inspired by the heroism and bravery of the men and women who took part in the September 11th Ground Zero rescue and recovery mission. The painting was acquired by a private collector from Potomac, Maryland in 2001. In 2015 it was assented into a perment museum collection.   

GICLEÉ is a French word that literally means, "to spray." This term in the art world of fine reproductions is sometimes alongside the words IRIS PRINT, where Iris is actually the name of the printer itself. It represents the most advanced form of fine art reproduction today. The process, as the word GICLEÉ implies, utilizes the spraying of high quality inks onto a variety of materials. This creates a near continuous tone of rich color that is at the same time durable. Canvas, fine drawing stock, even archival watercolor papers, rough and smooth alike can receive the appropriate pigments easily because there isn't the need for the traditional plates that must come into play with off-set lithography. Large-scale works can be created that invite side-by-side comparisons with the originals. The result is a dazzling product with color permanence that both artist and art collector can be proud of. Gicleé has been recognized around the world by Museums as being the pre-eminent process of fine art reproduction.
