Berkeley #20 — Fine Art

Berkeley #20 uses broad painted shapes that sit against a muted ground. Richard Diebenkorn worked in a California abstract style that favoured planes of colour and visible painterly handling. Here the forms read as open rectangles and shifting tone rather than a clear scene.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang with a metal hanger fixed to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. The matte paper keeps the flat colour areas steady and removes any shine when light falls across the picture.

Hang it on the wall beside a desk in a study where you sit for long sessions. From the chair you notice the layered painted bands, and when you stand near the door you see the whole layout without crowding the wall.
