Blue and Orange — Fine Art

Blue and Orange by Ellsworth Kelly puts two clear colour fields next to each other on a plain ground. The blue block leans hard against the orange one with sharp lines and no soft blending between them. Each shape holds an even flat tone that stays clean at the boundary.

This fine art print uses a paper surface that stays matte so the colour edges do not catch the light. The frame finish can follow the room, which lets the two tones sit with the paint or wallpaper around them.

It works above a dining table when the ceiling light hits the wall low. From across the table the two blocks read as clean bands, and from close up the straight edge of Blue and Orange stays sharp.
