Rocks — Fine Art

Rocks by Paul Cézanne settles into the room as a set of slow blocks. From the hall you read the dark planes first, then the warm ground holding them. Up close the paint breaks into separate strokes that sit over one another.

The print comes ready to hang with a metal hanger on the back that slips onto a single nail. The paper is matte, so the grey passages stay soft in daylight and lose their shine under a lamp. That soft finish suits the rough build of this fine art print.

It works on a shelf wall in a kitchen where the morning light comes through a small high window. You see the stacked stone shapes from across the room and the short paint strokes when you stand by the sink.
