Embrace the Calligraphic Sophistication of Bradley Walker Tomlin
Bradley Walker Tomlin’s 1950 masterpiece, Number 9: In Praise of Gertrude Stein, is a landmark of the New York School and mid-century Abstract Expressionism. This museum-quality reproduction captures the delicate balance between Tomlin's early interest in Cubism and his later mastery of rhythmic, gestural abstraction. Often referred to as 'ribbon-like' or 'calligraphic,' the white and muted forms dance across the canvas, paying homage to the intellectual legacy of literary icon Gertrude Stein. This piece offers a sophisticated, intellectual atmosphere for any interior, bridging the gap between structure and spontaneity.

Who was Gertrude Stein and why did Tomlin dedicate this work to her?
Gertrude Stein was a central figure in the Parisian avant-garde. Tomlin’s 'Number 9' serves as a rhythmic homage to her influential role in modernism, mirroring her literary repetitive structures through his calligraphic, abstract visual language.
How is this print shipped to ensure its safety?
We use robust, protective packaging specifically designed for large-format fine art prints. Each 30x40 inch poster is carefully rolled and secured to ensure it arrives in pristine, gallery-ready condition without creases or damage.
Will the colors fade over time on this archival print?
No. We utilize acid-free paper with a pH above 7, which prevents the paper from yellowing. Combined with high-quality archival inks, this ensures the vibrancy of Tomlin's palette remains consistent for decades.
What is the significance of the Number 9 style in Abstract Expressionism?
Bradley Walker Tomlin’s 'Number 9' represents the transition from rigid geometry to 'gestural' abstraction. His unique calligraphic style helped define the New York School, offering a more meditative, structured alternative to the 'action painting' of his peers.

Yes, RedKalion is committed to sustainability. We exclusively use FSC-certified paper or equivalent certifications, ensuring that your art collection supports environmentally responsible and socially beneficial forestry practices.
How should I frame this 30x40 inch poster?
