The Pythagorean Theorem — Fine Art

The Pythagorean Theorem - 1964 uses a grid of small numbered squares filled with flat colour. The rows move in a steady pattern across the sheet. Alfred Jensen built the picture with repeated colour blocks and numbers, a method he used in many paintings. The image feels measured and orderly.

This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel. The frame holds the paper flat and the back panel keeps the front clean. The surface stays matte, so the numbers read without shine under lamp light.

It sits on a pale wall in a reading corner by the window seat. You notice the small numbered squares first, then the steady rows as you lean closer over the book.
