Red Jug — Fine Art

A red jug sits at the centre of the page, surrounded by a few other objects on a plain ground. The shapes are built from painted colour laid down in broad areas. Mary Fedden worked with still life motifs and used flat colour and drawn lines across her career.

Red Jug - 1968 shows the objects in a calm arrangement with soft edges and a muted background. The red of the jug stands apart from the quieter shapes around it. A fine art print set in a frame with a back panel holds this picture.

The frame gives the painted shapes a firm edge and the back panel keeps the print flat. You see the broad colour areas and the small shifts in tone across the surface. This fine art print works on a kitchen wall above the counter.
