Flight of Colors — Fine Art

Flight of Colors - 1949 by Carmen Herrera uses sharp lines and solid colour planes to divide the picture. The marks run straight and meet at hard angles, with no soft blending. Each shape holds a flat area of paint, and the edges stay clean and exact.

The fine art frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame finish gives the image a clean edge on the wall. A white frame keeps the crisp colour blocks separate from the wall. A dark wood frame places a steady border around the painted shapes.

It hangs in a dining room on a plain wall, seen from the table. From there the angled lines lead the eye across the room and the bright coloured planes stay clear against the darker furniture.
