Modern Pointillism and the Giclée Print - an experiment

The word giclée was adopted by printmaker Jack Duganne around 1990. He wanted a name for the new type of prints he was producing - a large-format, high-resolution industrial prepress adapted for fine-art printing.

Appearing to be a quite unique visual/graphic technique with colour and a PC as the tools the term I have called 'modern pointillism', is an image made up of hand created squares, filled with CMYK colour individually. These images are based on photographs acquired over many years.

'Peter Hennessy QC' - eminent Queens Counsel (retired) from Brewongle, Bathurst was happy to agree to be my first portrait attempt using my new 'modern pointillist' style and then reproduced as a Giclée print.

1915 portrait of Trooper Charles William BAKER - 'modern pointillism' technique applied original photograph then Charlies own brief wartime story applied over the photographic image. The completed graphic is then digitally printed on 3mm clear glass.
