The Garden — Fine Art

The Garden by Hans Hofmann sets a loose field of painted colour across the sheet. Bright strokes and softer ground sit side by side. The picture reads differently at a distance than it does near the paper. From a doorway the colour blocks pull together.

The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood and black. A white frame gives the painted colour a clean line on the wall. The dark wood frame makes the bright marks stand apart from the room. The fine art print uses a matte finish so the paint tones stay flat under a lamp.

It works on the wall above a desk in a study. From the chair you see the broad colour areas. Lean in and the painted strokes show their edges. The print holds the field steady on the paper.
