New River Watercolor, Series I, #5 — Fine Art

New River Watercolor, Series I, #5 - 1988 by John Cage shows soft washes and faint drawn lines on the sheet. The marks look like water moving over a pale ground. Chance operations guide how the shapes sit next to each other.

This fine art print keeps the paper tones quiet under a lamp because the finish is matte. A black frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall and holds the loose washes in place.

In a narrow hallway above the coat hooks, you notice the thin horizontal lines first. The dark frame reads against the pale wall and the small washes stay soft from there.
