Brilliant Art Prints Website Wins American Association of Web Masters Gold Award

The American Association of Web Masters has awarded the Brilliant Art Prints website, source for limited-edition prints by California landscape painter Dan Cooper, with their highest honor.

Larkspur, CA (PRWEB) October 7, 2004 -- The American Association of Web Masters' Gold Award is their highest honor, recognizing "excellence in web design, originality and content." Other recent winners include Nike.com and The Yale National Initiative.

"We are thrilled to receive this recognition for the hard work our team has put into the creation of our user-friendly e-commerce website," said Suzanne Gold, publisher. "We're proud to offer the beautiful artwork of Dan Cooper in an enjoyable, easy-to-navigate, content-rich environment."

Website visitors can search the growing catalog of Coopers colorful imagery by subject (such as Golden Hills, Beach or Forest) or price (ranging from $24 to $495), and also find information about the giclee process, artist's biography and framing help. Clicking on a thumbnail picture at www.brilliantartprints.com opens an enlarged image with details about the print. All purchases come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Giclee ("zhee-clay," a French term meaning 'spray of ink') prints utilize the newest state-of-the-art digital technology to reproduce the color and detail of an original artwork. A computer-controlled device sprays archival inks slowly onto heavy cotton rag paper producing an astonishing depth and immediacy far superior to traditional poster-style prints. Each giclee print is closely supervised, proofed, signed and numbered by the artist, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Dan Cooper is an internationally-acclaimed artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad for twenty-five years. His paintings and giclee prints grace many private and corporate collections, including AT&T, Merrill Lynch, and Wells Fargo Bank. His work was praised in Art Pictorial Magazine (Tokyo) as "meticulous, pristine and masterful craftsmanship that communicates a deep love of the subjects chosen." His "meta-realist" style is appreciated for its blend of strong composition and luminous color that reveals influences from Claude Monet to Andrew Wyeth. Cooper was educated at Harvard University, majoring in Fine Arts, and studied at the Art Students' League and the Boston Museum School. He lives in Northern California.

Brilliant Art Prints (www.brilliantartprints.com) is dedicated to bringing the artistic vision of Dan Cooper to the world through giclee prints.
