Please email me if you know any outfit that sells reproduction of classic
oil paintings. I am not looking for museum quality, but something that is
good enough for interior decorating purposes at an affordable price.


Thanks,


Paul

I don't know what you consider affordable, but the Museum of Fine Arts
in Boston uses a "room-sized" Polaroid camera to make reproductions of
a number of oil paintings and watercolors. The quality is excellent, and
even though the surface is physically flat you almost have to touch it
to believe it isn't textured. They come framed and cost in the hundreds
of dollars (price depends basically on size, I believe). Not cheap-cheap
but orders of magnitude less than the originals. They're at 617-267-9300.
