End Gable — Fine Art

End Gable - 1972 by Leon Polk Smith shows crisp geometric forms arranged on a clean ground. The picture builds from hard edged colour fields that meet at sharp angles. You can see the steady balance of each shape across the sheet.

The fine art print sits on a wall where the light stays even. A dark frame on a pale wall or a light frame on a dark wall lets the flat colour planes read clearly. The finish of the frame follows the room around it.

A quiet hallway wall works well for this print. From the far end you notice the hard edge lines and the way they turn. Up close the steady edges stay clear and the room feels settled.
