So, probably in line with conceptual decision...abandoning view through a window look.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-31238662807290362692010-11-13T14:26:44.047-05:002010-11-13T14:26:44.047-05:00Sandy, you raise an interesting question. Thought...Sandy, you raise an interesting question. Thought I would try to find an answer but was frustrated in my google attempts. "Frames on paintings out of fashion" brought me a history of picture frame styles and lots of sits from picture framers. "Frames on paintings disappear" gave me stories on art heists where the perps cut the picture out of the frame and left it hanging in the museum. Other tries also yielded nothing.<br /><br />I recall having read about this somewhere and think that it had nothing to do with logistics such as weight, but was a deliberate conceptual decision. Can't recall whether it had to do with abandoning the classical idea of the painting as a "view through a window" or with abandoning all things traditional on general principles.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-26071690138313424762010-11-13T08:14:16.419-05:002010-11-13T08:14:16.419-05:00interesting in looking back. The first 2 feel like...interesting in looking back. The first 2 feel like they aren't helped at all with such a heavy frame. you want to look at the work with out them being contained so strongly.<br /><br />Makes you wonder when thinner frames came into vogue. Was it with the abstract pieces because the old style frame was too heavy?<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-64094772970773447022010-11-13T07:54:21.487-05:002010-11-13T07:54:21.487-05:00Love these!
