Undulation by Richard Pousette-Dart — Fine Art

Undulation by Richard Pousette-Dart shows three curved shapes moving across the surface. The lines sweep from left to right, getting lighter as they go. The marks come from the abstract expressionist painting practice of the artist, where repeated strokes build a field of movement.

The print is a fine art piece on matte paper, so the greys in the curves stay flat and there is no shine under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall lets the lighter curves stand out, while a dark frame on a pale wall keeps the shapes clear.

It hangs on a kitchen wall near the stove, where you see the sweeping curves from the doorway. From the breakfast table you notice the lighter line at the end of each curve.
