The Houston Scene — Fine Art

Hassel Smith often worked with bold colour and a direct hand, building scenes with broad strokes and a sense of movement. The Houston Scene - 1959 belongs to that kind of painting practice. The composition places forms across the picture plane with an open, unguarded rhythm.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back. You place it straight onto a nail or screw, and the piece sits on the wall without a separate frame.

In a hallway with a steady ceiling light, the broad colour areas read clearly from a few paces away. The smaller shifts in tone become visible when you pass the wall on your way to the kitchen.
