Homage to Newman — Fine Art

Homage to Newman - 1979 by Gene Davis uses bands of colour that step through the sheet in one direction. The stripes shift in tone and the lines stay hard and even. You read the rhythm as a whole across a room, then each band changes shade as you move closer.

The fine art print sits on a wall where the light is steady and even. A light frame on a dark wall or a dark frame on a pale wall follows the room, and a wood frame beside wooden furniture keeps the surface plain.

It fits a study or reading corner above a desk. From the chair you see the full set of bands, and from the floor you notice the small shifts in each shade.
