Reflections VIII — Fine Art

Reflections VIII - 1995 by Helen Frankenthaler holds thin colour that spreads across the sheet and settles into the paper. From across the room the painted bands read as broad shifts of tone. Up close you see where the paint stopped and the ground stayed clear.

A fine art print on matte paper holds the washed colour without shine. The frame finish can match your room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. That lets the painted bands sit without drawing attention to the frame.

It works above the desk in a study, where the wall takes the morning light from a side window. From the doorway the painted bands read as broad shifts of tone. Up close you see where the paint stopped and the ground stayed clear.
