29. 03. 60 — Fine Art

29. 03. 60 - 1960 by John Hoyland sits on the page as a block of broad painted colour. The title dates the work to March 1960 and the paint runs in thick strokes across the sheet.

The print is a fine art piece that comes ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back so it sits straight on a nail or screw. That simple fit works for this painting because the broad colour bands read clearly without a frame getting in the way.

In a hallway with pale plaster walls, the dark bands stay readable from the landing. Step a little closer and the thinner paint at the edges catches the light from the side lamp.
