As It Goes — Fine Art

As It Goes by Philip Guston shows the quiet closing of a day. A few dark shapes sit on a light painted ground. The marks are thick and rough, made with a loaded brush. Space is left open around each shape so the picture breathes.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The frame holds the heavy painted look steady, since the paper does not curl on its own. A flat back panel keeps the print clean behind the frame.

On a narrow landing between two doors, the dark shapes stay readable from down the hall. From the stair you see the rough strokes first, and the empty corner only when you stop. The frame catches the low light from the hall lamp at night.
