The form and character of the frame are governed by the laws of aesthetics and of human sensation. The intention must be to engender a sense of harmony and to concentrate the beholder’s attention on the painting. A frame constructed in accordance with a proper understanding of art and science will enliven the painting’s colors, detach them from their surroundings and unite them into a harmonious and effective whole. Guggenheim(1897) |
