Be Calme October 1St 31St — Fine Art

The drawing titled Be Calme October 1St 31St shows simple lettering set against a plain field. Louise Bourgeois often used handwritten marks and short phrases in her drawings. The work sits with her later studies of text and feeling.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. A white frame gives the sheet a sharp edge on the wall. The white wood keeps the lettering clear and does not pull the eye away from the words. A black frame would sit heavier against the pale ground.

On a hallway wall near the front door the letters read before the rest of the room. You notice the spacing between the words first. The frame holds the paper steady and the writing stays readable on a narrow stretch of wall.
