Shapes of Spring — Fine Art

Shapes of Spring - 1952 shows a quiet field of colour with three rounded shapes standing apart. The paint sits in thin layers so the edges stay loose. You see the simple blocks and the space between them.

This fine art print has a metal hanger fixed to the back. It goes straight onto a nail in the wall. The paper is matte, so the pale tones stay soft and do not shine under a bulb.

In a narrow hallway near a switch plate, the pale blocks sit at shoulder height. From the bend in the corridor you read the open colour first. Standing close you notice the rough edges of each painted shape.
