White On Blue II — Fine Art

White On Blue II - 1969 shows a pale ground with a blue field laid over it. The two tones sit beside each other, and the white holds its own shape rather than blending in.

The fine art print uses a matte paper face, so the light blue stays even when a lamp hits it. A light frame on a dark wall makes the blue band read plainly, or a dark frame on a pale wall keeps the tone steady.

It works on the long wall beside the kitchen pass through, high enough that the blue band lines up with the counter edge. From the table you see the white edge and the blue block, and the marks stay quiet under the ceiling light.
