Description
A framed reproduction print of 'Phi', 1960-1, by Morris Louis, from the Tate collection. Made in the UK exclusively for John Lewis & Partners. The black frame is made of FSC-certified solid ayous wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Framed with a card mount and glass front, it arrives ready to hang on your wall. Morris Louis Bernstein (1912-1962), known professionally as Morris Louis, was an American painter. During the 1950s he became one of the earliest exponents of Colour Field painting. While living in Washington, DC, Louis, along with Kenneth Noland and other Washington painters, formed an art movement that is known today as the Washington Color School. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
This 'Phi' print is a versatile piece that adds modern colour and movement to a room. I love how the abstract streaks of colour can complement a neutral or minimalist scheme, or bring a lively touch to a more eclectic space. It works particularly well above a sofa or sideboard in living rooms, or as part of a gallery wall for a curated look. When styling, consider pairing it with simple, solid-coloured accessories to let the artwork stand out, or with sleek, contemporary furniture to enhance its modern feel. Its 53 x 73cm size makes it a good focal point without overwhelming a space. For an easy refresh, try layering it with other art or leaning it on a shelf for a relaxed, gallery-style vibe.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
