Upper Piazza — Fine Art

Upper Piazza - 1947 by Alberto Burri shows a torn and patched ground with dark patches set against a warm field. The eye enters at the torn edge on the left and rests on the heavy patches near the center.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. Wide open space sits to the right. The black frame gives the picture a hard line on the wall and holds the torn surface in place. The white frame keeps the warm ground open and lets the dark patches read clearly.

The wood frame adds a warm line beside the patches. The dark wood frame gives the edge a deep stop against the lighter marks. You notice the dark patches first from the kitchen doorway across the tiled floor, then the torn grain when you pass the table.
