Orange Mood, 1963-64 — Fine Art

Orange Mood, 1963-64- shows a pale sheet with broad areas of orange laid in thin washes. The colour spreads and leaves soft edges where it meets the ground. Some marks sit heavier near the centre while others thin out toward the edges.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The work stays open and quiet, with the orange sitting on top of the paper rather than filling every part of it. You see the soak stain method Helen Frankenthaler made famous, with colour held in broad areas on a flat surface.

A light frame on a dark wall lets the orange stand out without drawing the eye to the frame itself. It hangs on a pale bedroom wall at eye level.
