No.10 — Fine Art

Large colour fields sit on the sheet with soft edges. The work known as No.10 - 1950 follows the painted blocks Mark Rothko built in his studio. Two broad rectangles rest on each other, one darker than the one below.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang. A metal hanger is fitted to the back and goes straight onto a nail or screw. You do not need to buy a frame. The matte surface keeps the painted blocks from shining under a lamp.

In a study room the two colour blocks sit on the wall above a desk. From the chair you see the stacked rectangles and the blurred edge where one band meets the next. Close to the wall the paint looks flat and even.
