Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1963 by Hassel Smith reads as broad colour fields laid over a flat ground. The paint sits in thick layers, with edges that vary across the surface.

From far away the forms sit as blocks of tone. Up close you notice how the pigment settles and where the brush drags across the paper.

This fine art piece keeps the surface matte so the darker passages stay even and the lighter areas do not reflect a lamp. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black, and the edge sits clean against the painted border. It hangs well on a hallway wall near the stairs, where the broad colour reads first and the small marks reveal themselves as you pass by.
