Relational Painting, Tondo #36 — Fine Art

Relational Painting, Tondo #36 - 1955 comes from the practice of Fritz Glarner where rectangles and bars sit in a measured grid. The painting holds a round field with flat colour shapes arranged in clear bands.

This fine art print sits on a matte sheet that keeps the painted tones even and stops glare from a bulb overhead. A light frame on a dark wall lets the colour bands read without distraction, and a dark frame on a pale wall does the same in reverse.

In a study, the print hangs on the wall beside a desk where you work at the bench. From the door the round format sits in the middle of the wall and the flat colour blocks stay clear.
