Farbholzschnitt 1952-2 — Fine Art

Blocks of colour sit side by side in Farbholzschnitt 1952-2 - 1952. Sharp edges divide the sheets of colour. The shapes read like flat colour panels, the kind Ernst Wilhelm Nay made with his woodcut practice. Each colour band meets the next without blending.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel behind it. The print keeps the flat look of the woodcut colours. A flat back panel sits behind the frame so you can fix it to a wall without extra steps.

In a kitchen with tiles on one wall, the colour blocks sit above the counter. From the table you see the plain colour bands, while you cook you notice the edges where one colour ends and the next begins.
