Trees and houses — Fine Art

Trees and houses shows a cluster of trunks and rooflines painted in separate colour patches. The scene stays loose and the picture is a post impressionist work from the late nineteenth century. Paul Cézanne builds the forms with short marks that hold their own tone.

The fine art frame finishes in white, wood, dark wood or black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white frame keeps the pale greens and warm greys open, while a dark wood frame sets the houses apart from the tree tones.

In a kitchen the picture hangs on the wall near the sink, and from the doorway the roof shapes read first, then the separate brush marks show when you stand close.
