Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 17.5 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 19.9 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 29.9 × 24.2 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Gino Severini's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 100 × 80.5 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Gino Severini's "Sea = Dancer," painted in 1913, is a whirlwind of kinetic energy captured on canvas. Severini, a leading figure in the Futurist movement, masterfully embodies the essence of motion through a vibrant explosion of color and form. This painting is a dynamic interplay of fragmented planes and rhythmic patterns, evocative of both the fluidity of the sea and the grace of a dancer.

The composition is a complex tapestry of overlapping shapes and lines, each facet bursting with its own vivid hue. Severini employs a pointillist technique, with dots of color meticulously placed to create a shimmering, almost pulsating effect. The palette is a bold celebration of primary and secondary colors—brilliant yellows, deep blues, lush greens, and fiery reds. These colors swirl and interlace, guiding the viewer's eye across the canvas in a dance of their own.

In the background, softer, pastel tones provide a subtle contrast to the more saturated hues in the foreground. This layering adds depth, creating a sense of movement that seems to transcend the two-dimensional space. The foreground is dominated by sharp, angular forms that suggest both the waves of the sea and the limbs of a dancer in mid-movement. The play of light and shadow further enhances the illusion of motion, with each shape casting delicate, diffused shadows that add to the painting's dynamic quality.

Severini's "Sea = Dancer" is a testament to the Futurist fascination with speed, energy, and the mechanization of the modern world. Yet, it also retains a lyrical, almost poetic quality, as the abstract forms come together in a harmonious dance. It’s a visual symphony that captures the viewer’s imagination, inviting them to lose themselves in the ceaseless motion of color and form.
