The Port of Collioure 1905 1 by Andre Derain — Fine Art

The Port of Collioure 1905 1 sets a busy harbour with boats and stone buildings under a bright sky. Short thick strokes push the colour across the sheet, with paint laid down in quick patches. A bold colour scheme holds the scene together, with warm reds and greens sitting side by side.

This fine art print keeps the paint look without gloss, so the thick strokes read as they should. Matte paper holds the colour flat and the frame finish can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a dark frame on a pale wall.

It fits a kitchen wall near a sink with steady overhead light. From there you see the harbour shapes and the quick painted patches. The fine art piece stays readable day to day in that busy corner.
