Red Abstract Composition — Fine Art

Red Abstract Composition shows broad red strokes set against a lighter ground. The paint sits in uneven bands and patches, with some edges thin and others heavy. Henri Michaux used this kind of free mark making in his abstract work. The picture stays with simple colour and open space.

The fine art print is made on matte paper, so the red does not shine under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall can keep the red forward, or a dark frame on a pale wall can hold the background steady.

The print fits a study wall beside a desk, where the red bands run across your line of sight. From the doorway the big colour blocks read first, and from the chair you notice the thin edges of paint.
