What are the specifications of the frame used for this Mondrian print?
The print is housed in a premium black frame made from responsibly sourced oak and ash. It measures 20mm (0.79") in both width and thickness, providing a sturdier, more luxurious profile than the industry-standard 14mm frames.
Is the paper used for 'Broadway Boogie Woogie' archival quality?
Yes, we use 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. It is natural white, uncoated, and matte-finished to ensure long-term color stability and a sophisticated, non-reflective surface perfect for fine art reproductions.
How is the artwork protected during shipping and display?
Each print is protected by shatterproof, high-clarity plexiglass, which offers durability and safety without compromising visual fidelity. For shipping, we use specialized protective packaging to ensure your framed art arrives in pristine condition.
What does the 'ready-to-hang' feature include?
Every framed print from RedKalion arrives with a pre-installed hanging kit. This allows you to transition your artwork from the box to your wall immediately, requiring no additional hardware or professional assembly.
Is the wood used for the frame sustainable?
Absolutely. We prioritize environmental responsibility by using FSC-certified wood or local equivalents for our oak and ash frames, ensuring your artwork supports sustainable forestry practices and global ecological standards.
What was the inspiration behind Mondrian's 'Broadway Boogie Woogie'?
Mondrian was inspired by the grid-like layout of New York City and the upbeat tempo of Boogie Woogie jazz music. The painting translates the kinetic energy of traffic and urban life into a visual, rhythmic abstraction.
Why did Mondrian stop using black lines in this specific piece?
In this late-period masterpiece, Mondrian replaced his traditional black borders with colored blocks to better represent the 'optical flicker' and neon vibrancy of Broadway, creating a sense of movement and modern vitality.
