Composition in Blue and White — Fine Art

Composition in Blue and White shows a blue field over a white ground. Broad sweeps move across the sheet and leave open space at the edges. The work belongs to colour field painting, a period built on large colour areas and soft washes. Sam Francis made prints and paintings in this style.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white frame sits quietly against the blue and white field and keeps the outer line clean.

It sits on a blank wall above a sideboard in a study room. From the doorway the blue field reads as a single shape. Closer up you notice the soft wash marks and the open space around them.
