the arc of a wall

A fine art print for lovers of botanical precision and vintage illustration

the palette dancing between warm and cool tones in a way that feels celebratory without sentimentality

this poster holds its graphic punch whether displayed framed or unframed

known for their geometric body art and ceremonial dress

Komposition (1938) by Otto Freundlich Julia Charlott the arc of a wallPainted in 1938 five years before Freundlich's death at Majdanek 'Komposition' carries the compressed intensity of a late work made under pressure. The geometric planes lock together with characteristic solidity, colour doing the work that line might in another artist's hand. There is no concession to representation, no residual figuration: only form, weight, and the relationship between adjacent colour zones. Made at a moment when his work was banned
