Yankee Doodle — Fine Art

Yankee Doodle - 1966 by Gene Davis runs painted colour bands across the sheet in one steady direction. The bands step through the page in even widths. Each band holds one steady hue that changes as the colours move left to right.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The painting follows the stripe practice the artist used for years. You can read the whole band pattern from the doorway and notice the narrow joins between colours when you stand near the wall.

No separate frame to buy. The matte paper keeps the painted bands from shining under a lamp. It fits well on the wall in a small study where the desk faces the room. From the chair you see the long colour lines and the steady rhythm of each band.
