Pomegranate 1949 — Fine Art

A painted metal form suggests a split fruit on a plain ground. Pomegranate 1949 uses the soft red tones Calder worked with in his stabile sculptures. The painted surface catches the room light without shine.

The fine art print sits on a pale wall where the frame edge stays quiet. A light frame beside wooden furniture lets the red tone sit without fighting the room. The matte paper keeps the colour even when a lamp leans on it.

On a work shelf near the window the fruit shape reads as a circle with a few darker notes. You see the painted edge first, then the open space around it. The print does not crowd the shelf.
