Take That Back Black #282 — Fine Art

Take That Back Black #282 - 1984 shows broad black strokes laid across a pale ground. The marks sit in a loose row and break into smaller bits near the edges. Stephen Mueller often works with bold linear forms and a small set of tones.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The paper is matte, so the flat black areas stay even and the pale ground does not shine under a lamp.

On a study wall the lines pull the eye from left to right. The dark strokes hold the wall while the pale paper keeps the room from feeling heavy.
