Untitled Orange Painting — Fine Art

The Untitled Orange Painting uses a single orange tone spread over a plain surface. Robert Ryman leaves the edges open and lets the material show through. The work belongs to his steady study of colour, ground and surface. You see a soft field of orange with no hard borders.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The paper takes the orange evenly and keeps the tone even from corner to corner. The frame sits flush against the wall and the back panel keeps the print flat.

In a reading corner the orange field spreads across the wall and softens the bookshelf. From the chair you notice the open edges and the plain ground. The light from the lamp throws no shine on the surface.
