I'd like to by prints of the french Impressionism painting and the
other great pieces.

Renoir, degas, monet...


of transient effects of light and colour. The principal Impressionist
painters were Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro,
Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot, Armand Guillaumin, and Frédéric
Bazille, who worked together, influenced each other, and exhibited
together independently. Edgar Degas and Paul Cézanne also painted in
an Impressionist style for a time in the early 1870s. The established
painter Édouard Manet, whose work in the 1860s greatly influenced
Monet and others of the group, himself adopted the Impressionist
approach about 1873.

I haven't had much luck with local stores -- minimal stock, high prices,
and so on. There are some very good online stores that can get you almost
anything impressionist (try http://www.barewalls.com/ )

I recommend that you go with a canvas transfer instead of laminating them.
Looks much better without glass or plastic between you and the painting.

I liked the site, It has them all, However.
Although they have an Office in Montreal,
They have a price but can't guarantee what
dutys and border tax will cost.

I called.

Does anybody have experience importing cheap art prints.
These things are 50 bucks each.

Any purly Canadian Sites?

Nobody will give you that guarantee.

One really big thing to watch out for -- do not let anyone ship to you by
UPS. UPS charges exhorbitant broker fees for getting something across the
border -- truly highway robbery.
