Victor Pasmore — The Blue Between (Bowness & Lambertini 74)
Victor Pasmore

The Blue Between (Bowness & Lambertini 74)

Victor Pasmore's "The Blue Between" is a monumental colored etching and aquatint from 1978 that exemplifies the artist's mature abstract vocabulary developed through his systematic exploration of geometric form and chromatic relationships. Created as part of a numbered edition of 90 and co-published by prestigious galleries in London and Rome, the work measures an impressive 550 by 2590 millimeters, presenting an expansive horizontal composition that invites contemplation of the interplay between blue tonalities and spatial intervals. The print's technical sophistication, combining etching and aquatint processes, demonstrates Pasmore's continued experimentation with printmaking as a medium for articulating his distinctive vision of constructed abstraction.
