Feb 55 — Fine Art

Feb 55 - 1955 by Ben Nicholson shows thin lines crossing a quiet field. A few arcs turn over one another without much weight.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The marks look drawn, with a steady hand rather than a rush. You see the slow pace in each line.

The paper is matte, so the pale greys stay flat and the lines do not shine under a lamp. A metal hanger is fitted to the back, and the print goes straight onto a nail or screw. It sits well on the stair wall above the second step, where the lines read from below and the small pencil tone shows at the foot of the stairs.
