Plums — Fine Art

Plums - 1925 shows fruit hanging from thin branches on a pale sheet. The painted strokes sit close together with soft edges, so the shapes read as rounded weight. A few leaf forms lean in from the side. Charles Demuth worked with measured color and clean outline during his career.

The fine art frame finishes in white, wood, dark wood or black. Each finish sets a clean border around the fruit shapes, so the painted weight stays separate from the room. The print runs through a fine art process that holds the soft edges without a shine.

Hang it in a reading corner above a low shelf. From the chair you notice the dark fruit against the pale sheet, and the thin branches catch the light when a lamp turns on.
