Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures William James Glackens' transformation as an artist, showcasing his shift from dark and gritty urban scenes to a palette filled with bright, hot colors. The influence of European modernists like Henri Matisse is evident in this piece titled "Race Track 1908-1909". Glackens, a Philadelphia native, was known for his early career works that depicted the harsh realities of city life. However, around 1908, he began experimenting with a new style inspired by the boldness and vibrancy of European art movements. The scene depicted in this painting is Brighton Beach Race Track in Brooklyn. Glackens skillfully captures the energy and excitement of horse racing through his use of vivid hues and dynamic brushstrokes. The spectators are immersed in a sea of color as they cheer on their favorite horses. Measuring at 26 1/8 x 32 1/4 inches (66.4 x 81.9 cm), this oil on canvas artwork showcases Glackens' mastery in capturing movement and atmosphere. It serves as a testament to his artistic evolution during this period. This print from the Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Glackens' transition into brighter palettes while still maintaining his keen eye for detail and storytelling.
