Circus Sounds — Fine Art

Circus Sounds - 1967 shows a row of vertical stripes painted in different colors. The bands step through bright and darker tones, one after another. Gene Davis used this stripe method often in his work.

The colors feel loud, like music played in a ring. A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel shows the painted stripes without glare. The matte surface keeps each band clear.

You can see the shifts between shades when you stand near the sheet. The paper stays flat inside the frame. This fits a reading corner above a low bookshelf. From the doorway you notice the stripe pattern before the room details.
