Seascape — Fine Art

Seascape - 1952 opens on a field of painted bands laid down in one direction. The bands step through a range of tones, moving from pale to deeper shades. Gene Davis worked with this stripe practice across many years, and the sheet carries that steady rhythm here.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The frame finish can follow the room. A light frame on a dark wall lets the paler bands stand out, while a dark frame on a pale wall gives the deeper tones room to sit. A wood frame beside wooden furniture ties the sheet to the room.

It works well on a hallway wall you pass through each day. From the landing you catch the broad bands first. Closer by, the small changes between one shade and the next become clear.
