Composition brune et rouge — Fine Art

Brown and red shapes sit in layers against a darker ground in Composition brune et rouge - 1964. Serge Poliakoff often built abstract colour fields in his later work. The blocks lean and overlap, with thin lines running between them.

This print is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the brown and red tones soft, so the colour does not reflect a lamp.

In a bedroom, the panel rests on a wall beside a low bed. From the doorway the brown bands read as a quiet shape. Up close you see the small gaps where the red slips through.
