Untitled 1956 — Fine Art

Untitled 1956 shows a field of gestural paint with marks laid over a plain ground. The artist worked in broad strokes of colour, a practice tied to abstract expressionist painting. No year or catalogue title is given for the picture.

The print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. The fine art paper carries the paint strokes with no shine under a lamp.

In a narrow hallway with warm light from a door behind you, the broad strokes read as simple blocks of colour. You notice the thin edges where one stroke ends and the next begins.
