63-L-6 — Fine Art

Three long arcs of blue and grey run across the sheet in 63-L-6 - 1963 by Martin Barre. The lines sit close together and the colours shift as they travel.

The drawing keeps a spare layout, the kind Barre returns to in his wider work. The fine art print uses a matte sheet so the blues stay soft and the pale band near the bottom does not glare under a lamp.

The frame finish can follow the room, a dark frame on a pale wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. It fits a stairwell wall where the eye catches the long lines first. From the landing you see the arcs, not the edges.
