Niagara Series IV — Fine Art

Hard edged shapes meet across the sheet in Niagara Series IV - 1980. Larry Zox built the picture with flat colour blocks and sharp lines that divide the surface into clear sections. The work belongs to the post war American abstract painting tradition.

The fine art print sits on a matte sheet so the flat colour areas stay even and the hard lines read cleanly under room light. A frame finish can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall, a dark frame on a pale wall, or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.

It hangs on a kitchen wall near the back of the counter, where the sharp colour divisions show from the doorway and the flat shapes stay clear from the table.
