Untitled 3 — Fine Art

Untitled 3 by Philip Guston uses a few plain shapes on a quiet ground. The eye enters near the center and the rest stays open. Broad strokes and mumbled tones build the surface, a late twentieth century painting approach.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the greys from shining under a lamp, so the painted look stays steady when you look at Untitled 3.

On a kitchen wall, the flat shapes hold their weight above the counter. From the table you read the broad strokes, and the empty space around them stays calm.
