Leaf customs — Fine Art

Leaf customs by Max Ernst uses a pale field with darker marks laid over it. The title suggests a study of leaves, and the shapes sit gently against the ground. You see the forms without a hard outline.

The picture is offered as a fine art print in a white, wood, dark wood or black frame. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A wood finish sits quietly beside the pale field, while a black frame makes the lighter marks stand out more.

It fits above a desk in a study where the light comes from a side window. From the desk you notice the soft marks first, and from the doorway the frame edge reads as a simple line against the paint.
