Yvon Lambert — Fine Art

Yvon Lambert shows a single vertical form pressed against a plain ground. The mark is dark near the top and fades as it drops down. A hand made the line with steady pressure, so the edge stays uneven and the line thickens in places. Louise Bourgeois returned to this kind of bare figure shape across her printed work.

The picture is a fine art print with a frame edge that separates the image from the wall. Pick the black finish and the dark border holds the fading tone in place without pulling the eye away from the thin lower section.

On a narrow bedroom wall near the bed the viewer notices the fade first, then the small rough spots near the top. From the doorway the dark top sits just above the frame line and the lower half stays quiet.
