Old Sparta — Fine Art

Old Sparta - 1952 by Theodoros Stamos shows a pale ground with darker shapes laid across it. The picture keeps a quiet balance between open colour and the marks that cross it. You can follow the forms from one side to the other and still leave room for the eye to rest.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The frame is black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. That dark line keeps the lighter ground from fading into the room.

In a hall with a low window, the pale band draws the eye down the wall. From the doorway the shapes hold their place and the smaller marks stay visible at a short distance. The black line of the frame separates the picture from the plaster and lets the room keep its own tone.
