Moontide, 1968 — Fine Art

The title Moontide, 1968- points to a night scene by Helen Frankenthaler. Broad colour washes spread across the sheet without hard edges. The shapes seem to move slowly, like water under a moon. The work stays open and quiet from across the room.

A fine art print keeps the thin edges of each colour wash readable. The matte surface lets the tones sit evenly under warm light. A light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture can follow the room.

Hang it on a wall where you see it from the doorway at eye height. In daylight the washes stay flat and soft. Up close the paper grain shows in the thinner areas. The room feels calm from that distance.
