Triangle 1987 — Fine Art

Triangle 1987 by Nancy Graves draws the eye to a single shape that holds several tones across the sheet. The drawing lines bend and meet at corners, so the form reads as a measured study of triangles. Nancy Graves worked from maps and diagrams, and that habit shows in the steady graphite lines and small hatched fills here.

This fine art print arrives with a metal hanger on the back, so you put it straight on a nail or screw. The paper keeps the lines sharp and the hatched fills stay separate from the white around them.

Above a desk in a study, the triangle shape sits near the top of the sheet and the graphite lines stay clear under a desk lamp. You notice the small hatching changes as your eye moves from one side to the other.
