After All — Fine Art

After All - 1933 by Charles Demuth uses flat colour fields and sharp edges. The picture shows a simple shape set on a plain field. The style belongs to the geometric abstraction practice of the early twentieth century.

The fine art print sits on your wall with a frame that follows the room. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the flat tones clear. A dark frame on a pale wall lets the simple marks stand out.

It works in the kitchen near the sink, where you see the big shapes while washing dishes. The small paper grain shows when you stand close to the cupboard.
