Embrace Rhythmic Color with Gene Davis’s 'Carousel' (1980)

In the history of the Washington Color School, Gene Davis stands as a titan of optical rhythm. His 1980 masterpiece, 'Carousel', is a definitive exploration of his signature vertical stripe motif, where color serves not just as an accent, but as the primary subject and structural element. At RedKalion, we are proud to offer this museum-quality reproduction in a curated set of ten postcards, allowing you to share a piece of late 20th-century American abstraction with the world.

These are not mere stationery; they are tactile encounters with art history. Utilizing 12-color fine art printing technology, we capture the subtle shifts in hue and the vibrating energy that Davis intended. Unlike standard 4-color commercial prints, our process ensures an archival-grade depth of color that honors the artist's original vision. Each card is printed on 200 gsm (80 lb) FSC-certified paper, offering a substantial, premium feel and a smooth matte finish that eliminates glare and enhances the visual clarity of the vertical compositions.

The RedKalion Archival Standard

  • Sophisticated Aesthetic: A6 dimensions (10.5 x 14.8 cm) provide the perfect canvas for Davis’s geometric precision.
