Chimney and Water Tower — Fine Art

Chimney and Water Tower - 1931 by Charles Demuth shows a tall water tower beside a chimney standing on a plain ground. The shapes are simple and the edges stay firm. You notice the vertical lines first.

The picture reads clearly from the door and keeps its calm look from across the room. The fine art frame sits in a white finish and gives the picture a clean border on the wall. The white edge keeps the shapes separate from the plaster behind them.

The frame gives a steady line around the picture. A narrow hallway with a single bulb above works well. From the far end you see the two tall forms standing against the wall. The white frame keeps the picture clear on the plaster.
