Black and White Repeat — Fine Art

Black and White Repeat - 1953 shows a grid of black and white forms laid out in a clean repeated pattern. The shapes sit beside one another with sharp breaks between them. Leon Polk Smith built this kind of hard edge work from simple forms and flat colour planes.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The print comes with a frame that can match the wall around it. A dark frame on a pale wall makes the black forms stand out. The matte paper keeps the whites soft and the blacks steady without shine.

It fits a hallway wall where the light comes from one side. From the far end of the hall you see the repeat pattern, and near the door the sharp breaks between the black and white areas become clear.
