Untitled 5 — Fine Art

Untitled 5 by Henri Michaux shows thin black lines that bend and cross over a pale ground. The strokes vary in pressure, some pressed hard, some drawn quickly and lightly. The picture reads as a set of moving marks rather than a scene.

This fine art piece comes with a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame gives the image a clear edge on the wall. A black frame keeps the black lines distinct against the pale background.

In a study room the lines stay readable from the desk. You notice the small gaps between overlapping strokes while sitting at the desk, and the frame edge cuts the image cleanly on the wall.
