Butterfly II — Fine Art

Butterfly II - 1969 shows a simple butterfly shape set against a plain ground. The form uses flat colour and clean lines, a method Blinky Palermo used in his painted panels. The picture keeps the motif plain and the edge of the image clear.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. A white frame gives the print a sharp border that sits close to the butterfly shape without pulling attention away. Wood and dark wood finishes give a warmer line, and black gives the sharpest contrast against lighter tones.

It fits well on a kitchen wall above the table, where the flat colour reads from the doorway and the frame edge stays neat at close range.
