Encounter 1908 — Fine Art

Encounter 1908 shows a few dark strokes and soft colour patches arranged across a plain field. The marks do not line up evenly, so the eye moves from one spot to the next without a clear path. You notice the thin edges of each band before you take in the whole page.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang. A metal hanger is fitted to the back, so it goes straight onto a nail or screw. You do not need to buy a separate frame.

It works on a long wall in a study, where the pale ground stays calm under a desk lamp. From the chair you see the dark strokes first, and the small colour patches later.
