CANSON®, AT THE SERVICE OF ARTISTS


For over 450 years, Canson® has been inspiring artists worldwide, as conveyed by the brand's strapline "Inspirational Papers since 1557".
The greatest museums are its most prestigious showcase.
Canson®, the world leader in fine art paper, makes papers for drawing, pastel, watercolour, oil painting, acrylic, graphic arts, printmaking, digital art & photography, etc.

Being the originator of numerous inventions – tracing paper, paper colouring, photo paper –, Canson® has been innovating for over four centuries. While its reputation was built through prestigious signatures like Degas, Ingres, Picasso as well and Matisse and Warhol, Canson® has always had a strong attachment to all those – whether young or old – who wish to learn to draw. The Canson® brand is now part of the artistic heritage. It's also synonymous with high quality.
