Famous frames. Pictures also need decoration. Lysenko O.

What is a frame? This is not just a frame for the picture. The frame complements the picture, decorates it, helps to understand its content. The frames have a separate life: well -known masters make them, collect and inherit them, sell at auctions; Famous artists specifically order them for paintings or even create themselves. Real professionals work on the frames as inspired as painters - on their canvases. The frame should be perfectly combined with the picture in form, material, decor elements-and then together they become a work of art, occupying a special place in the museum or private collection.. The history of the frames in his presentation becomes a kind of guide to artistic eras, directions, styles. Such a specialist is the author of this book Oksana Alexandrovna Lysenko. Her fascinating story is complemented by illustrations of frames and paintings from the best meetings of the world: the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Hermitage, the Uffizi Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Amsterdam Reachsmuseum, the Vienna Gallery of Belveder and many others, including rare images from private collections.

The book is primarily intended for children of secondary and senior school age, students of art schools, students of creative universities, but will be useful to all interested art and painting.
