Barges on the Thames 1906 — Fine Art

Barges on the Thames 1906 by Andre Derain shows boats and river water in strong colour blocks. The eye moves across the paint from one flat shape to the next. Open water sits on one side and the boats gather on the other. A wide band of sky stays empty above the busy water.

This fine art print comes ready to hang with a metal hanger fitted to the back. The metal piece goes straight onto a nail or screw, so the print goes up on the wall without a separate frame.

It works above a cooker in a kitchen where the wall catches morning light. From the sink you see the broad colour shapes clearly, and the empty sky band stays calm over the busy boats.
