Victor Marie Hugo was a French poet, novelist, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. Hugo kept his artwork out of the public eye, fearing it would overshadow his literary work. The surviving drawings are surprisingly accomplished and modern in their style and execution, foreshadowing the experimental techniques of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.

Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
