Nine — Fine Art

Nine by Maurice Utrillo places three pale buildings against a soft sky of muted blue and grey. The colours sit quietly against one another, and the whole picture holds a calm urban scene. The white walls and the roof lines give the image a steady, simple feel.

The fine art print sits on a matte paper that keeps the pale tones soft and stops glare from a lamp. You can hang it on a wall where the light comes from the side, so the grey walls stay visible and the blue sky does not wash out.

On a kitchen back wall near the window, the picture shows the pale houses and the quiet roofs. From the sink you see the broad shapes, and from the doorway the blue and grey tones stay clear.
