Hand Painted & Embellished Tinsel Collage Art Theater Program.

This art work known as Tinsel is hand painted and embellished by and English artist Mr Joseph Hope. Tinsel art from the 19th century nearly died out. Mr. Hope born in 1937 has made a name for himself by reviving this old art form using the tradition techniques.

Here is a bit of information about Mr. Hope and the tinsel art.

Tinsel pictures: Mr. Hope started producing tinsel pictures in the 1960's. These pictures are produced using the larger dramatic portraits, the areas of the print are gradually cut away and replaced with printed cloth, for clothes; embossed foil, 'tinsel', for pistols, shields, buckles, etc. And leather or lace, etc for various accessories. These are his best sellers. He makes all his own dies to stamp out the foil ornaments for each portrait. These are incredibly tiny detailed works, some items even have lettering. The work is so intricate and time consuming, that it takes up to a fortnight to complete all the stages to produce each batch of tinsel pictures. Many tinsel pieces are used on one print alone, but others such as buckles, cutlasses, etc, he has produced more than one, so a choice is possible. The whole produces a very unusual 'collage' effect. Nineteenth century originals in this form cost hundreds of pounds, and are very rare. Most having been bought by American buyers.

This painting is framed behind glass and measures 12" x 9". The condition is very good.
