Easter Morning — Fine Art

Easter Morning - 1979 shows a painted surface built from layered brushwork and sweeping lines. Norman Bluhm worked in an abstract style that favors speed and gesture over tight detail. The sheet carries a field of colour with marks that cross and overlap.

This fine art print hangs on a wall where the light falls across it at an angle. Put a dark frame on a pale wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture so the finish follows the room. The matte paper keeps the greys from shining under a lamp.

It works on the stairwell wall where people pass twice a day. From the landing you notice the big sweeping strokes first, and from the bottom step you see the smaller pencil lines in the corner.
