Untitled 1919 — Fine Art

Three wide black bands cross the page in Untitled 1919 by Rudolf Bauer. The bands stay even and flat on a pale ground. A thin line sits just below them and breaks the field into two parts. The marks read as a measured study of balance rather than a scene.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte paper holds the black bands without shine, so the flat colour stays even when a lamp hits it.

In a dining room, you see the black bands from the table and the thin line at the edge. From the doorway the bands sit lower on the wall, and the pale ground softens the whole picture. The back panel keeps the print steady on that wall.
