Canto XIII — Fine Art

A thin vertical line stands inside a broad field of one colour. The field holds steady while the line divides the space. Canto XIII follows the colour field style of post war American painting. The picture asks for a clear wall and even light.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. A light frame on a dark wall lets the single colour read without glare. A dark frame on a pale wall keeps the line sharp under a lamp. You see the edge of the field cleanly from the doorway.

It works on a kitchen wall above the counter. Morning sun hits the surface at a low angle and the vertical line pulls the eye down the room. The colour stays even across the surface.
