Berkeley #7 — Fine Art

Berkeley #7 by Richard Diebenkorn sets out a quiet field of painted colour with thin drawn lines laid across the surface. The picture stays restrained and lets the eye move over broad areas of tone. The work belongs to the painterly abstract practice Diebenkorn kept returning to across his career.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. A white frame gives the picture a clean edge against the painted ground. The white finish keeps the edge from pulling focus away from the colour blocks. The black frame option gives the same picture a sharper outline on the same wall.

Hang it on a bedroom wall above a low bed. From the foot of the bed you read the broad colour first, then the pencil lines as you stand near the footboard.
