Black Flag 1937 — Fine Art

A black flag stands against a pale sky on the cover of Black Flag 1937. The image is simple, with a plain field and a bold shape in the middle. Surrealist painting often uses clear objects placed in odd settings. Rene Magritte painted in oil on canvas, laying flat colour over a smooth base.

This fine art print keeps the flag shape sharp against the soft background. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black, and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white frame keeps the plain field light.

Hang it on a kitchen wall above the stove. From the table you see the black shape first, and the pale ground fades behind it. The simple layout reads clearly in a busy room.
