Nu Assis by Modigliani Art Print

Nu Assis by Modigliani Art PrintThink of it as Modigliani with less reverence and better instincts. A single sitter, drawn in soft blue pencil on warm aged paper, dated 16 April in the corner. When this goes on the wall, a room calms down. The eye slows. Conversation softens. It works above a low bed, behind a writing desk, in a hallway that needs one good thing rather than three busy ones. Pair it with linen, oak or walnut, a stoneware lamp, an old rug. Avoid hanging it next to

white linen and one real plant

and the stripes on the vase tie it to anything ticking or checked you've already got going on

or at the end of a hallway where you want a small moment of personality

and the bare wall stops being the loudest thing in the room

It's a William Morris-style exhibition poster

A black or oak frame both work without competing

while the soft sage leaves keep it from feeling heavy

a low sideboard or at the end of a hallway where you want the eye to land

the tall vertical will do the editing

calms down stainless steel

notice what the deep terracotta does to linen

This is a watercolour lemon branch on soft pink stripes
