Each film locale and co-star has provided him with new and different inspiration for his art work. Many works seem bigger than life, encompassing great visual concepts within the confines of the canvas.Tony Curtis' long-standing love affair with the beauty and glamour of Las Vegas has inspired the brilliantly conceived and colorful paintings and giclées of montages that he creates at his studio here.Extraordinarily successful exhibitions all over North America, Europe, and Asia, of Tony Curtis' paintings, assemblages, collages, and boxes have earned him tremendous acclaim as a highly sought after artist and a prominent place in many world famous public and private collections.MONTAGE (män-'täzh) Fr.The art or process of making a composite picture by bringing together into a single composition a number of different pictures, or parts of pictures, and arranging these by superimposing and or juxtaposing the images so that they form a blended whole while remaining distinct.GICLÉE (zhee-klay) Fr.Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates, including canvas, providing tighter detail and better color accuracy than any other method of reproduction. Archived files will not deteriorate in quality as negatives and film inherently do. The quality of giclée prints rival traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and are commonly found in art galleries and museums such as NY Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum. Recent giclée auction prices include $9,600 for a giclée by Chuck Close, $10,800 for a giclée by Annie Leibovitz, and $22,800 for a giclée by Wolfgang Tillman.
