Grid Mounted 1921 — Fine Art

Grid Mounted 1921 sits on a printed sheet with colour blocks arranged in a measured layout. The blocks hold steady tones against one another, so a warm square sits next to a cooler one and the difference is plain. Josef Albers studied how one colour changes when it sits beside another.

The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A clean frame edge holds the print on the wall and gives the colour blocks a fixed outline. The white finish keeps the lighter tones open, while a dark wood finish sets the blocks apart from the surrounding paint.

Hang this fine art print on a kitchen wall near the sink. From the counter you see the colour blocks in rows, and the frame edge keeps each block separate when you stand close to wash the dishes.
