Imploding Cosmos — Fine Art

Imploding Cosmos - 1992 shows a crowded field of small strokes and dots in dark and warm tones. The marks press close together and build up across the sheet. Richard Pousette-Dart worked this way for years, laying many thin touches on the surface until the picture feels dense.

The print comes with fine art paper and a metal hanger on the back. You can fit it straight onto a wall nail without a frame. The matte finish keeps the small marks soft and stops a shine from showing under a lamp.

In a study above a desk, the dense layer of marks holds your eye while you read. From the doorway the dark shapes read as one block, and up near the desk the small dots come into view.
