Berkeley #58 — Fine Art

Berkeley #58 by Richard Diebenkorn shows a broad painted field with a few rectangles and thin drawn lines laid across a quiet ground. The forms read as flat shapes rather than objects.

From across the hall the colour blocks hold the wall, and up close the pencil lines feel drawn by hand. The fine art print arrives ready to hang with a metal hanger fitted to the back, so the sheet goes straight onto a nail or screw.

No frame is needed, and the matte surface keeps the pale tones from shining under a lamp. On a bedroom wall above a single chair, the grey field stays calm and the drawn lines catch the morning light.
