Venice Dogana 1948 — Fine Art

Venice Dogana 1948 by Oskar Kokoschka shows a harbour scene with water and buildings. The paint sits in quick strokes and the colours stay muted against the sky. From the doorway the shapes hold their shape at a distance, while the small marks come clear on the wall.

The fine art frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white frame keeps the harbour tones open and clean. A black frame sets the painted marks apart from the wall.

It works above a desk in a study where the light falls across the paper. From the chair the water lines hold together, and from the desk the brush marks show their separate passes. The scene stays quiet in a working room.
