Usuyuki 1979 — Fine Art

Usuyuki 1979 by Jasper Johns shows soft grey washes over a pale field. The artist worked with encaustic paint and careful brush strokes to build a quiet surface. A thin line runs across the top and a few lighter patches sit below. You can see the layers of paint where they cross.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The print sits on matte paper so the pale tones stay soft and there is no shine under lamps. The frame can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside shelves.

It hangs above the dining table at a height you can reach from the chair. From the seat you notice the grey tones against the room light. The quiet marks settle the space without drawing attention.
