New York City I — Fine Art

New York City I uses straight black lines set against blocks of red, yellow and blue. Piet Mondrian painted this city grid with hard edges and no soft curves. The marks are sharp and the colour planes sit flat on the ground.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. The frame holds the lines steady and the back panel keeps the print flat. You see the black grid first, then the colour blocks behind it.

In a study corner above a desk the grid fills the view and the yellow block catches morning light. From the door the lines lead the eye across the wall and the red block stays warm all day.
