Settori — Fine Art

Settori - 1962 stays with broad painted blocks and thin lines. The shapes are built from flat colour bands that lean across the page. Carla Accardi works in a kind of Italian abstract painting that favors open colour fields. You feel the hand in the uneven edges of each block.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The white frame gives the picture a clean edge on the wall. It keeps the colour bands separate from the plaster and lets the flat tones read without distraction. The border is simple and stays out of the way of the paint.

It works on a bedroom wall above a narrow bed. From the foot of the bed you see the blocks fill the space, and the white frame keeps each colour block clear.
