Manet II — Fine Art

The field of Manet II fills with broad colour washes laid by Sam Gilliam. Most of the surface stays open, with a heavier tone settled near one side. The eye moves across the lighter area before resting on the darker stroke.

Sam Gilliam works in colour field painting and often uses soaked or rolled paint on canvas. You can order this picture as a fine art print with a white frame. The white wood edge keeps the image clear on the wall.

The matte paper holds the soft colour without a shine under a lamp. It suits a reading corner above a side table. From the chair you see the main wash first, then the narrow darker band on the far side.
