Study for Variant 1947 — Fine Art

The title Study for Variant 1947 points to a colour study by Josef Albers. The sheet holds bands of flat colour placed next to each other. Each band shifts in tone so the eye notices the change between neighbours. From across the room the bands read as one steady field.

Closer up you can see the edge where one colour meets the next. The work is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The frame keeps the sheet flat and the back panel covers the rear.

The matte surface holds the flat tones without shine under a lamp. This fine art print sits above the desk in a study room. From the doorway the bands read as a steady block of tone. From the desk the eye catches the small shift between two neighbouring bands.
