Gc-17 — Fine Art

Gc-17 - 1990 uses broad painted areas set against a darker ground. A few deep tones press forward while the rest stays quiet and holds back. The picture leans on a rough painted surface that Emil Schumacher made with thick brushwork.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte face keeps the painted tones from washing out under a lamp. The board behind the print gives the sheet a firm edge.

It works on a kitchen wall near the range, where the bright marks catch the overhead light at cooking time. From the doorway you read the big shapes first, then the small edge of paint.
