Homage to Matisse — Fine Art

Homage to Matisse - 1960 by Gene Davis shows stacked bands of colour running across the sheet. Each band has a different width, and the colours step through reds, blues and yellows.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The bands sit level and fill the sheet with a steady rhythm. You see the big shapes from down the hall, and the narrow stripes when you stand near the picture. The paper is matte, so the colours stay soft and there is no shine under a lamp.

The white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. It works well on a dining room wall above the table, where the colours read warm under the room light. From the doorway you notice the broad bands first, and then the small shifts between them.
