Venice, Afternoon — Fine Art

Venice, Afternoon - 1995 shows a hazy view of water and buildings in warm tones. Howard Hodgkin worked in paint, building colour in layers on the surface. The image reads like a memory of a city seen through heat.

This fine art print sits inside a white, wood, dark wood or black frame. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. With Venice, Afternoon - 1995 the edge separates the warm paint tones from the room around it.

In a study above the desk the colours stay soft against the darker wood trim. From the doorway the shapes read as a low sun over water. Up close the paint layers show their own grain.
