Variation II on Mauve Corner — Fine Art

A mauve band runs across the sheet with a second softer tone beside it. Variation II on Mauve Corner - 1969 shows two colour strips meeting along a gentle line. The lighter tone fades into the pale paper as the wash spreads.

The frame finish can follow the room, so a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture keeps the tones clear. The fine art print keeps the thin paint edges visible without gloss under the lamp.

On a hallway wall the two mauve strips meet the eye first when you walk past. The pale paper stays flat under the ceiling light and the soft colour bands read before the marks do.
