Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - Fauvism, Tachisme by Charles Lapicque runs with broad colour patches and loose brush marks. The surface holds fast blocks of paint that overlap in a rough field, with no single subject sitting in the middle. The picture stays with the energy of the movement rather than a clear scene.

The fine art frame gives the sheet a clean line on the wall. A white frame sits against the bright patches without hiding them. A dark wood frame sets the lighter areas apart. The frame edge keeps the painted marks from drifting off the sheet.

On a hallway wall near the front door, you see the broad colour blocks first. Step closer and the paint strokes show their uneven edges. The picture reads as a set of painted shapes before it becomes one image.
