Ponti — Fine Art

Ponti - 1973 sits in the post war colour field tradition that Helen Frankenthaler helped shape. Thin washes of colour spread across the sheet and soak into the ground. The paint leaves soft edges where one tone meets another.

This fine art print uses a white frame around the image. The white edge separates the painted area from the wall and gives the sheet a clean line. You see the colour fields without a dark border cutting them.

It fits a bedroom wall near the bed. From the pillow you read the broad colour planes. The white frame keeps the painted area clear against the plaster.
