Floating Shapes 1958 — Fine Art

Floating Shapes 1958 by Lenore Tawney belongs to the mid twentieth century textile and fiber art movement. The work centers on soft floating forms that suggest a woven ground. Lenore Tawney worked with thread, paper, and woven structure across her practice.

This fine art print sits inside a frame with a back panel. The paper stays matte, so the pale forms read without glare from a lamp. The back panel keeps the sheet flat against the wall.

In a bedroom above the bed, the soft shapes sit quietly on the wall. From the doorway you see the overall layout first, then the small woven marks.
