Window — Fine Art

A clear rectangle of sky sits behind the lines of a window. Richard Diebenkorn painted this view with flat colour and thin drawn marks. The work belongs to the California modernist period, where artists kept shapes simple and let the picture stay open.

This fine art print sits on a backing sheet and hangs from a wire. A light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture all suit the plain painted areas.

It fits above a desk in a study, with the window opening at eye level. From the doorway you notice the broad colour shape first, then the thin lines as you step closer.
