Poplars — Fine Art

Poplars shows a row of tall trees rising from a flat ground. The trunks stand close together and the leaves fill the top half of the picture. Paul Cézanne paints each tree with separate brush strokes that leave visible ridges on the paper.

This fine art print keeps the original paint ridges visible on the matte surface. 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. That lets the tree trunks sit with the colour of the room.

It works on a hallway wall where the light is steady. From the doorway you notice the tall trunks first, and when you step closer the small separate strokes come into view.
