Angle — Fine Art

Angle - 1963 by William Scott puts a long dark line against a pale ground. The line turns sharply near the bottom.

A second lighter line runs beside it and fades out. The paint stays thin, so the colours look flat and quiet. The fine art print uses a matte paper that keeps the greys from glaring under a lamp.

The frame can be light on a dark wall or dark on a pale wall. A wide strip of it sits at shoulder height in the dining room. From the doorway you see the dark bend first, then the pale band behind it.
