Palm Trees From the Series the Archaics 1966 — Fine Art

Palm Trees From the Series the Archaics 1966 shows a cluster of palm forms set against a plain ground. The shapes lean a little and leave open areas around them. Grace Hartigan built this picture with quick brush strokes and a few solid forms. The marks read as painted rather than drawn.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The frame holds the edges flat and the back panel keeps the surface steady when you hang it. The light matte surface keeps the paint tones soft under a lamp.

The print fits on a bedroom wall above a dresser. From the foot of the bed you see the broad palm shapes first. Standing near the dresser you notice the short strokes between the leaves.
