ACEO Revisiting the Masters

Revisiting the Masters

What is ACEO?

Literally "Art Cards Editions and Originals", ACEO's are collectible little pieces of art. An ACEO is always 2½ inches by 3½ inches. That is the size of a standard sports trading card. The rule about size is the only rule in the ACEO world. An ACEO can be created in any medium the artist desires: photographs, paint, colored pencils, ink, etc. There are even ACEO's made from wood, clay, fabric, and metal.

Each is printed on quality cardstock with the image on the obverse and pertinent information on the reverse. A certificate of authenticity in included with every card. The ACEO cards are packed in 2½ X 3½ Ultra-Pro, High Clarity, Acid Free Card Sleeves which are then placed in a high density plastic display holder.

Recession Special! All 13X19" prints (and Smaller), All ACEO's, and All Magnets are 50% OFF. All 24" prints are 25% OFF! Untill MAY 31.

NOW all ACEO's are offered as 2½ X 3½ refrigerator magnets. These are the most striking magnet series I have seen on the market.

NEW Especially for Art Teachers! Any of the Masters Series can be ordered as either 1/2 page (8 1/2 X 5 1/2) or full page (8 1/2 X 11) cards (plain or laminated) or magnets. See ACEO's and Magnets price chart for details.

Producing this series of images has been sheer joy. The mastery, delicacy, and beauty of these classic works of art are stunning to say the least. All of the images are in the public domain. Most of the works themselves are owned by various museums and cathedrals around the world, a few by private individuals.

I would also like to refer you to an excellent home study course on DVD,

"A History of European Art"

In the course of researching the images for these series I discovered

The Web Gallery of Art.
