Black and White Form — Fine Art

Black and White Form - 1962 stays with simple shapes on a plain field. The work belongs to the geometric abstraction of the mid twentieth century. Doug Ohlson worked with clear blocks and steady tones. The picture keeps its look with open space around each form.

This is a fine art print set in a frame, with a back panel. The matte paper softens the black marks so the white ground reads plainly and the edges stay clean.

It works on a study wall where the desk lamp throws a small patch of light on the frame. You read the black shapes first, then the quiet paper behind them.
