Farbholzschnitt 1952-4 — Fine Art

Farbholzschnitt 1952-4 - 1952 by Ernst Wilhelm Nay places colour blocks side by side on the sheet. Strong reds and blues sit next to pale areas, with each shape kept separate. The print keeps the flat look of a woodcut, with clear edges between the tones.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. White, wood, dark wood and black finishes are available. A white frame suits the bright areas best, while a black frame makes the reds stand out more.

This works on the wall near a kitchen table, where morning light falls across the colours. From the doorway you see the broad red shape first, and the smaller blue patch beside it. You notice the separate tones as you walk past.
