The Flame 1938 — Fine Art

The Flame 1938 shows a hot light moving over a dark field. A narrow pool of yellow sits near the centre and a thin red band runs through it. The rest of the picture stays brown and black.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. Those darker tones hold the bright spot in place. Jackson Pollock painted this during his action painting period. The white frame gives the picture a sharp border on the wall.

Against the dark ground the white edge keeps the whole image from fading into the surface. You notice it first on the dining room wall. From the table you see the yellow shape and the red strip. The black field stays steady while the light shifts.
