Vertical Foliage 1941 — Fine Art

Vertical Foliage 1941 shows a vertical band of leaf like shapes set on a pale field. The marks run upward in a narrow stack, the kind of simple form Alexander Calder made when he worked with cut out shapes.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The frame is a white finish, and that clean edge keeps the pale ground from fading into the wall. With a dark wood frame the leaf shapes sit closer to the ground and the white line around the sheet clears the image.

A reading corner shelf gives you enough space to see the thin gaps between the leaf forms. From there you notice the upward pull of the band and the soft paint on the surface. The print sits on the shelf and the white frame stops it from slipping into the books.
