Hand Embellished Giclée's on Canvas The word giclée is a French term that literally means "the spraying on of inks." In the reproduction of an artist's original, that reproduction equipment utilized in the giclée production process resembles that of a high-end ink jet printer. The ink is applied by spraying onto either a high quality canvas or paper. The end result being the beautiful reproduction of an original that recreates wide color ranges, brighter colors, deeper saturation and
the subtle nuances that bring an original painting to life.

Size: 22" wide x 28" long

The Photographer,
Gene Leingang Sr. 1914-1983
In the mid 1930's, Gene Leingang 's eye turned to photography. Intent on capturing images of life in New Orleans, he carried a camera everywhere he went . His favorite place to take pictures was at Pontchartrain Beach. He was there with his camera when it opened in 1939, and continually photographed the Beach until he was called to overseas duty. From 1942 to 1944, he photographed Paris, Berlin and other European cities, documenting the progress of World War II. These rare photos were recently discovered by his son in a box of memorabilia. Bergeron Gallery is open to the public and is showing his work.


It seems that almost every home in New Orleans has a Brad Thompson, Pontchartrain Beach poster. Framed and proudly hanging on a wall. Many of these homes were damaged by Katrina and their poster was lost. I can be reached at,
