Brooklyn Bridge VII — Fine Art

Brooklyn Bridge VII shows a hard edge shape set against a plain field, drawn from the steel cables and towers of the bridge. The painting uses flat colour and sharp edges, a method Ellsworth Kelly used across his career. The image stays clean because the tones sit apart from each other.

You get a fine art print on matte paper, so the light areas do not shine back under a lamp. The frame finish can match the room, with a light frame on a dark wall or a dark frame on a pale wall.

It works above a long sofa, hung a little above eye level where the light comes from one side. From the sofa you see the sharp edge of the shape, and from the doorway you see the plain field around it.
