West Wind — Fine Art

West Wind - 1997 opens on a pale ground where a thin band of wash colour moves across the sheet. Helen Frankenthaler worked with poured paint that spreads into the surface. The strokes follow one another without heavy outline or hard shape.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The frame is black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The dark finish keeps the pale wash in view and stops the surface from blending into the room. You see the mark first, then the frame edge.

It fits above a long desk in a study. From the door you notice the light band of colour, and the work stays quiet when you sit down to write.
