Ladder — Fine Art

Ladder - 1968 shows a tall narrow form standing against a plain ground. Betty Parsons painted simple lines and hard shapes. The paint is laid down in a steady way, with edges that stay firm and do not blend.

The image feels still and measured. A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel holds this quiet picture. The frame keeps the edges clean and the back panel sits flat behind the work.

The glass does not add shine, so the paint reads as it is. The print stays true to the painted marks without extra gloss. It fits a narrow stretch of wall in a hallway. From the far end you notice the standing shape first, then the hard lines as you walk past.
