Untitled — Fine Art

The picture Untitled - Faces in a Grid Red and Blue - 1973 by Clarence Holbrook Carter puts several face shapes in a row and column. Each one is reduced to a simple mask with eyes and a mouth in red or blue on a pale ground.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the red and blue tones steady and the grid stays clear when you stand near the wall.

In a narrow hallway the repeated faces read as a steady pattern from the door. Up close the flat colour fills each shape and the small changes between the blue tones show more.
