Hotel Art in True Form: Now That’s Classy!
The tradition of purchasing print reproductions of masterpiece oil paintings for wall decor is one that OverstockArt is out to break. For decades, print reproductions of famous Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso paintings have decked the walls of hotels nationwide as well as the homes of art lovers who lacked the disposable income necessary to afford the prohibitive price of original artwork. Accordingly, the company hopes to dispel myths that all gallery quality oil painting reproductions are exorbitantly priced.
Wichita, KS (PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- The tradition of purchasing print
reproductions of masterpiece oil paintings for wall decor is one that
OverstockArt is out to break. For decades, print reproductions of famous Monet,
Van Gogh and Picasso paintings have decked the walls of hotels nationwide as
well as the homes of art lovers who lacked the disposable income necessary to
afford the prohibitive price of original artwork. Accordingly, the company hopes
to dispel myths that all gallery quality oil painting reproductions are
exorbitantly priced.
“The intricacies and pure essence of an oil painting
created by a master cannot be captured on a flat print,” said Stacy Sasson,
co-founder of OverstockArt, when questioned about her passion for the product
her company offers. Chiming in with reflections on hotel room décor crimes,
Henry Sicard, the owner of a prime apartment building from Chicago and a loyal
customer of OverstockArt recalls his experiences with print reproductions of
masterpiece oil paintings. “They lacked the original depth, texture and that
warm glow of an oil painting!” According to Mrs. Sasson, the company was founded
with the primary goal of providing art lovers with artwork reproductions in
their original medium: Oil on Canvas and with a dedicated customer base (some of
who have returned more than five times) art lovers apparently cannot get enough
of OverstockArt.
Today, OverstockArt is gearing products and activities
to accommodate a not-so-unexpected new group of customers. With the ongoing boom
in the hotel/tourism industry, Mrs. Sasson expects more hotels to ditch prints
for oil paintings. Her philosophy, “Hotels stand to gain from replacing print
reproductions with oil on canvas. Aesthetically and educationally speaking,
prints just don’t cut it any longer.”
