Pastry Case 1961 — Fine Art

Pastry Case 1961 by Claes Oldenburg shows a row of sweet treats arranged behind glass. Soft pastel tones fill the shelves. The eye moves along the baked shapes and stops at the rounded tops. Empty space sits behind the glass and keeps the view calm. The scene reads like a small shop front.

This fine art print uses a matte finish on the paper. That finish keeps the pale colours even and stops glare from a ceiling light. The 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 fits a kitchen wall above the counter. From the doorway you see the row of sweets. Closer to the sink you notice the soft edges of each shape.
