Tree with Red Crutch 1998 — Fine Art

Tree with Red Crutch 1998 shows a single upright form held by a red support. The trunk is drawn in soft graphite with a thick red bar crossing near the base. Louise Bourgeois often built these kinds of marks in her later prints and drawings.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The white frame gives the image a clean edge on the wall. Against the red bar the white border keeps the colour from spreading into the room. The frame sits flat against the surface and holds the picture steady.

In a kitchen with a pale tile wall the red bar reads first from the sink area. You notice the graphite shading on the trunk when you pass the table. The picture stays quiet while the room moves around it.
