Experience the Rhythmic Precision of Gene Davis's "Blue Broad Jump" (1960)

Immerse your space in the pulsating energy of the Washington Color School with this museum-quality reproduction of Gene Davis's "Blue Broad Jump". Originally conceived in 1960, this seminal work exemplifies Davis's mastery of the 'stripe painting'—a format that revolutionized American abstract art by focusing on color intervals and rhythmic repetition rather than central focal points. The vertical progression of tones creates an optical vibration that transforms any room into a gallery of mid-century sophistication.

Innovative Brushed Aluminum Medium

At RedKalion, we elevate this archival masterpiece by presenting it on Brushed Silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This 3mm (0.12") rigid base features a horizontal grain that adds a dynamic, metallic texture to Davis's vertical compositions. The unique material interaction means that all white or light areas in the original painting are not printed, allowing the striking brushed silver metallic effect to shine through, creating a sophisticated dialogue between the 1960s color field movement and contemporary industrial design.

Museum-Grade Specifications

  • Material: 3mm Brushed Aluminum DIBOND® for a premium, durable, and rigid display.
  • Finish: A glare-free matte finish that preserves the integrity of the blue hues while preventing reflections.
  • Visual Depth: The horizontal metallic grain interacts with the light, offering a different visual experience from every angle.
