Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1956 by Will Barnet shows a plain field with a few lines laid across it. The marks run with a steady hand, some pressed harder than others. You can see the pull of the line as it moves from one side to the other. The artist kept the drawing spare and let the paper show through.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. The matte paper holds the soft grey tones without shine, so the thin lines stay clear under a lamp.

It fits well on a hallway wall near the stairwell. From the bottom step you see the broad field first, and as you walk up the narrow lines come into view.
