Comprehension of the Atom, Crucifixion — Fine Art

A crossed beam divides the surface and meets a curved shape in the painting Comprehension of the Atom, Crucifixion. The forms look carved into a pale ground. Richard Pousette-Dart often worked with symbols drawn from science and religion, using signs that read like small diagrams.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. The matte paper keeps the pale tones even and holds the lines without shine.

It fits a study desk end against a low brick wall. From the chair you read the cross and the curve together, and the room stays quiet around them.
