Au Centre — Fine Art

Au Centre - 1969 by Brice Marden sits on a quiet field. The picture uses thin drawn lines and a small dark mark near the middle. Brice Marden worked with simple forms and muted tones in his later paintings. The image stays calm and open.

This fine art piece hangs on a wall at shoulder height. A light frame on a dark wall lets the drawn marks stay clear. The matte surface keeps the greys soft and stops shine under a lamp. You notice the line work first, then the small centre mark.

In a study above the desk the picture reads as a quiet band of drawing. From the doorway you see the dark mark first. Up close you see the pencil lines on the matte surface.
