Fruit Tree (c. 1957) by Charles Knowles represents a masterful intersection of mid-century modernism and classical printmaking traditions. Knowles, celebrated for his raw, expressive woodcuts and architectural sensitivity, captures the organic silhouette of the fruit tree with bold, graphic lines and a deeply textured, rustic palette. This piece reflects the post-war resurgence of classical woodblock techniques, translating pastoral subjects into striking modernist statements. To honor the integrity of Knowles's original composition, every format—including our archival canvas—is finished with a refined, clean white gallery border. This border floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping, ensuring a gallery-ready presentation that preserves the artist's intended margins and structural balance.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
