Composition abstraitePoster con cornice

Composition abstraite - 1958 comes from the practice of Serge Poliakoff, who built pictures from flat blocks of colour pressed together. The shapes meet along firm edges, and the tones shift from warm earth to cool grey. He worked in oil, layering colour until the surface went even.

This framed poster is a print set in a wooden frame with a back panel. It arrives assembled, so nothing needs fixing or fitting.

Hang it in a dining room where the table sits under a low ceiling. From the doorway the blocks read as one solid mass, and the joins only show as you walk past.
