An Influence of the Earths Motion on Optical Phenomena — Fine Art

The grid of small black marks on a pale ground gives the print its steady rhythm. An Influence of the Earths Motion on Optical Phenomena - 1961 follows the written number grids Alfred Jensen worked with for years. You read the rows like a slow count rather than a picture.

A fine art print on matte paper keeps the light colours flat and the small numbers clear. The frame finish can match the room: a light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.

On a study wall beside a desk, the grid reads as a quiet task. From the chair you see the pale band and the rows of marks. Lean in and the pencil like numbers line up in their columns.
