Abstract in Blue — Fine Art

Abstract in Blue - 1950 by Robert Goodnough reads as broad strokes of blue pooled across the picture plane. At a distance the colour holds together, up close the edges show where one band meets another. The blue is uneven, with some areas thinner and some denser.

We print this on fine art paper with a matte surface so the blue tones stay soft rather than glossy. A white frame gives the image a clear edge on the wall, so the blue field does not seem to spill past the edge.

It works on a bedroom wall seen from the bed. The blue reads as a calm field when you lie down, and the small shifts in tone show when you stand close.
