First Stone 1962 — Fine Art

First Stone 1962 by Lee Bontecou circles a black opening with rough colour and a few dark cross marks. The shapes feel built and worn. A dark round shape sits behind a patch of scratched surface. The work reads as a worn opening rather than a clean picture.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A black frame keeps the dark centre hard against the light ground.

It works on a study wall above a desk where you see the centre opening first and the outer marks last. From the doorway the dark circle reads plainly. Sitting at the desk you notice the rough cross marks across the paper.
