Tablettenbild — Fine Art

The painting Tablettenbild - 1966 by Blinky Palermo shows a row of pale color bars laid across a quiet field. Each bar keeps the same width and the space between them feels even. The eye moves along the row and rests on the far end.

The work comes from a concrete painting practice and reads as a measured study of flat tone. You get a fine art print with a white frame edge. The white finish sits close to the pale bars and keeps the line of the picture clear against the wall.

A black finish would pull the bars forward and make the row feel tighter. In a dining room, the pale bars take the light from a side window and the frame gives the picture a firm border.
