Magical Space Forms Black, Fuchsia — Fine Art

Magical Space Forms Black, Fuchsia - 1951 by Lorser Feitelson sets a dark field against a bright fuchsia shape. The forms read as simple planes facing one another. The work belongs to hard edge painting, a post war American abstract style built on clean colour blocks.

The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A black frame edge keeps the dark field steady and the fuchsia shape reads clear at the wall line. This fine art print uses matte paper so the colour stays flat and does not shine under a lamp.

On a hallway wall with a low ceiling, the black band at the top frames the fuchsia shape. From the stair landing you notice the flat tone of each plane before you notice the line between them.
