Cathedral Unfinished — Fine Art

Loose painted lines drift over a plain field in Cathedral Unfinished. The marks look quick and unfinished, with gaps where the paint is thin. Soft brown and grey tones spread across the surface without a hard outline.

Salvador Dali painted in a surrealist painting period that often leaves forms open at the edges. The work sits as a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The back panel holds the surface flat against the wall.

You notice the uneven pressure of the brush when the light hits the paper at an angle. A reading corner wall works well beside a tall bookshelf. From the desk the loose lines stay soft and the background does not compete for attention.
