The Empty Mask 1928 by Rene Magritte — Fine Art

The Empty Mask 1928 places a plain painted face against a calm painted ground. A simple mask shape sits in the middle with a few flat colour areas around it. The painting stays quiet and the edges stay clean. Rene Magritte built many images on this plain field method.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. White frame finish gives this picture a clear edge on the wall. The clean border keeps the painted face set apart from the room around it. Dark wood frame finish does the same thing with a firmer line.

In a quiet bedroom the mask shape reads from the bedside, and the painted ground stays calm in the morning shade. On a study shelf a white frame finish keeps the face clear against book spines.
