Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1960 belongs to a post war Japanese abstract movement that favoured plain painted fields and direct brush gestures. The work leans on a steady line across a blocked colour area. The artist kept to bold shapes with a single tone against a contrasting ground.

This fine art print comes with a white frame finish. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall and keeps the painted line from losing itself at the edge. A white finish sits quietly beside the stronger paint tone and lets the block read as a single mark.

In a hallway with a long narrow bench, the big painted block reads from the bend in the corridor. You notice the off centre shape before the small line beside it.
