Cathedral in Yellow 1961 — Fine Art

Yellow blocks and soft curves form the shape of a cathedral in the fine art print Cathedral in Yellow 1961. A yellow tower rises from a low band of cooler tones, and the view opens across the top where the sky carries only a little paint.

Rene Portocarrero works in a Cuban modernist style with bold colour planes and simple outlines. The light frame follows a pale wall while the yellow tones stay clear under a warm bulb.

Hang the piece on a hallway wall beside a wooden bench. From the far end of the corridor you see a tall yellow shape against the pale surface.
