Homage to Newman II — Fine Art

Homage to Newman II - 1979 by Gene Davis uses thick painted bands that cross the sheet from one side to the other. The stripes step through flat colour, one after another. You can read the rhythm from the doorway, then notice each band holds a single tone when you stand close.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger on the back that fits straight onto a nail. No separate frame to buy. The matte surface keeps the colour bands from shining under a lamp.

It suits a narrow hallway where the long stripes lead the eye down the passage. From the landing you see the steady colour steps, and from the kitchen door the bands feel calm and ordered.
