No. 16 — Fine Art

No. 16 - 1961 shows two large colour fields stacked on the paper. A dark band runs near the top, and a lighter one rests below it. The marks stay inside each shape. The eye lands on the meeting line first, then moves down to the open ground below.

The fine art frame gives this image a clear edge on the wall. The black finish sets a hard line at the border, so the soft colour shapes do not drift past the picture plane. You see the painted fields, then the frame stops them.

At the end of a hallway, the picture reads from a few steps in. The upper band stays darker in the low light. The lower band looks lighter under the ceiling lamp. From the landing you notice the clean line where the two tones meet.
