1. You are to analyse the following article from the great auction house Christie's about the Art of Framing: Look especially at the following two paragraphs:
Frames are the Cinderellas of the art world; they
do a tremendous amount of work. They protect the artworks they support; they
show off the qualities of a picture, drawing attention to its formal
structure, its patterns and colours, enabling them to resonate fully with a
viewer; they mould the response of the viewer to the work by suggesting the
value we should attach to it; they accommodate a painting to its setting,
acting as a liaison between the dream world of art and the decorative scheme
of the museum, gallery or private home the work inhabits. They are partly
furniture and partly sculpture. At their best, they are works of art, carved
by the foremost sculptors of their day, and yet their own brilliance must
also serve that of the paintings they encase. As Dr Nicholas Penny, Director
of the National Gallery, puts it drily in his elegant guide, A Closer Look
At Frames: ‘Frames are thus not a marginal consideration in the history of
art.’ You are to visit a local art gallery and evaluate the frames of at least 10 the art works displayed.
