What do you call paintings that were massed produced (in the 20's & 30's I think) that are pressed on a thick medium so as to bulge out and give more a feeling of depth or a 3d effect. I would expect to find this type of painting to be found in something like a Stuckley's or a Woolworths in their time. Of the ones that I remember seeing they were of natural settings such as a covered bridge over a stream with tree in the foreground and horse and buggy that had passed through the bridge in the background with the bridge being in the middle. The tree would be pressed out farthest, the bridge to a lesser extent, with the buggy the least pressed out.
Thanks for the help
@Dustyness,
Are some of these possibly velvet Elvis types of paintings?
@jespah,
no, they were on cardboard (lack of a better word) type of medium and the paint was rather flat, not flashy. When bought they would have been pre-framed and very, very affordable/inexpensive.
thanks for the reply
@Dustyness,
you mean something like relief ? bas relief is a kind of sculpture, but Im not aware of a name given to higher relief paintings.
HMMMM. Encaustic Impasto is a thickly layered ground and paint usually a mixture of paint and wax.
@farmerman,
Yes, it is but the main objects, such as a tree is pushed out in the form of a tree and painted. Only wish I knew how to post a picture I'd add it.
Thanks for the reply
Much like a plastic relief map where you could run your fingers over it to feel the contours of the terrain.
