Executed in 1962, Mario Avati's 'Nature morte à l'estampe (Still Life with Print)' represents a pinnacle of mid-century classical printmaking. Renowned for his mastery of the mezzotint technique, Avati approaches the still life with an architectural precision, utilizing dramatic chiaroscuro to carve form out of deep, velvety shadows. The composition juxtaposes everyday objects with a graphic print, creating a sophisticated dialogue on representation and space. To preserve the integrity of Avati's meticulous composition, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, ensuring the artist's original vision is fully realized for contemporary spaces.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
