Eschantos 28 — Fine Art

Eschantos 28 - 1977 by Clarence Holbrook Carter reads as a quiet field of layered tone rather than a sharp scene. The marks sit close together on the surface, and the eye moves slowly across them. At a distance the forms settle into a single mass; near the wall the individual hand of the artist shows.

The fine art print keeps those soft transitions intact on matte paper. A light frame suits a dark wall, while a dark frame sits well on a pale one. The matte surface holds the greyer tones without shine under a shelf of light.

On the landing wall it holds the space beside the coat hooks. From the stairs you see the broad tone first, then the small shifts in value as you pass the top step.
