The Messenger of Autumn 1922 — Fine Art

A messenger figure stands inside a loose circle of drawn marks. The title The Messenger of Autumn 1922 sits on your tongue as you look at the thin strokes and small colour patches. Paul Klee often worked with signs and measured lines.

A fine art print keeps the marks clear at any distance. The paper feels matte, so the colours do not shine. You can match the frame to the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture. The surface stays quiet under a lamp.

It hangs on a hallway wall where you pass each morning. From the landing you see the circle and the figure, and at the bench you notice the small drawn lines. The picture stays still while you move past.
