Between the Clock and the Bed 1989 — Fine Art

Between the Clock and the Bed 1989 by Jasper Johns shows a tall clock standing beside a low bed. The shapes sit against a flat ground with careful paint handling. The clock face and the bed frame are drawn with plain lines and steady marks.

The fine art print uses a light frame finish that can sit on a dark wall or beside wooden furniture. The paper stays matte, so the darker paint areas do not catch glare under a lamp.

On a bedroom wall near a reading chair, you notice the clock shape first, then the bed line below it. The room stays calm and the picture reads without shouting.
