Cubist Muse in Warm Neutrals Art Print eye Sandy stoneware and brass hardwareWe like portraits best when they come with a little abrasion. The face here is broken into flat blocks of cream, warm brown and soft beige, with a single dark eye and one inky navy shadow holding the whole thing together. Hang it in a room that has a few quiet surfaces plaster walls, linen, pale oak and it slows everything down without going beige. It works above a sideboard, in a study, or at the end of a hallway where you catch it on the way past.
