Composition abstraite — Fine Art

The title Composition abstraite - 1959 points to a work with stacked colour shapes that lean and overlap. Serge Poliakoff built his paintings from flat colour fields that touch and slide past one another. In this picture, the shapes sit in warm grey and ochre tones against a quieter background.

A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel keeps the colours steady and the layers clear. The frame gives the sheet its own edge, and the back panel holds it flat against the wall.

It reads well from the foot of a hallway. The long grey shapes stay readable from a distance, while the small shifts between the ochre bands show when you stand near the wall.
