El Faro 1928 by Carlo Carra — Fine Art

A coastal tower rises out of blended colour planes in El Faro 1928. The painted shapes sit close together and the soft ground holds the scene. Carlo Carra often worked with this kind of simplified coastal form and broken colour. The image stays quiet without sharp detail.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The frame sits flat against the picture and the back panel covers the whole rear. The print shows the blended colour planes without extra shine. That flat look keeps the soft ground visible.

Place it above a kitchen cabinet on a low shelf. The eye catches the tower line from the doorway and the soft ground fills the lower space. The colours hold steady under the kitchen light.
