Flames — Fine Art

Flames - 1961 shows a field of red and orange marks set on a darker ground. The shapes rise like heat moving across the sheet. Johannes Itten worked with strong colour contrasts throughout his teaching and painting practice. The image stays built on warm tones against a cooler background.

This fine art print comes with a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. On Flames - 1961 the dark wood finish holds the red shapes without pulling the eye away from them.

It hangs well in a dining room beside a plain table. From the doorway you see the warm marks filling the space above the sideboard. In the evening light the red tones stay steady and the frame edge stays sharp.
