Thin Ice — Fine Art

Thin Ice by Andrew Wyeth opens on a thin sheet of ice holding still on a dark stretch of water. The paint sits in dry, thin layers, so the surface reads as a fragile skin over the cold ground.

This fine art print arrives set in a frame with a back panel, so it stands flat on the wall and you do not need to fit the pieces together. The matte paper keeps the pale ice tones soft and stops the light from sliding off the surface.

It works above a desk in a study where the day light stays steady. From the chair you see the thin white line of ice, and when you lean in you notice the small dry marks along the edge.
