Frame Fire
Posted on Thursday, 29th October 2009 in Golf Cart And BagBy putting a picture in a frame, most people just grab their local store big box and slap her picture on it. Not many people are thinking about the origin of picture frame, and how much he has evolved from humble beginnings. Today most of the frames are mass produced from wood or metal compounds, but picture frames began as works of art in and of themselves.
The practice of image making began as soon as the man began drawing on the walls of the cave. The earliest evidence we have of "frames" is in cave paintings dating from about the 2nd century BC. These rudimentary frameworks served to isolate and protect the art that surrounds them. Picture frames like the ones we use today did not appear until the Middle Ages. Before frames were separate entities surrounding the art, the frame and the painting is produced on the same wall with the frame carved in stone and painted image on the lower middle area. Finally, elaborately carved frames Wood made his debut. Artists at this period generally the pictures of their art and themselves over time in increasingly ornate frames. The artists were limited by the materials available to them and the first paintings were embellished with gold or silver.
During the Renaissance, furniture makers, wood carvers and took the context of making trade. Photo frames began to evolve and take different forms and styles. Round and oval frames were first seen, and the use veneer and inlay, reflecting the inspiration of the furniture manufacturer. By this time were so highly regarded as art to protect and were often as expensive as art itself, if not more.
In the 18th century new ways of making frameworks were developed that significantly reduced the amount of time it took to make a frame. However, this innovation was cheaper picture frames, as might occur with such ease and low cost materials. Marco management team started molds using composite filling to rapidly produce a wood frame. Many manufacturers of traditional framework were outraged that the material was lower as used and that the framework had lost its integrity of craftsmanship. Many frame manufacturers continued to produce frames of high quality wood by hand, but automation fledgling production frames framework would inexpensive and easy to reach with the years.
Today can still be found carved frames hand, as was done originally, but mass-produced frames made of wood and metal are much more common and profitable. However, if you look carefully, it is still possible to find pictures made by artisans who take the time to make each frame by hand. These artists often seek natural materials for their creations.
The purpose of picture frames today remains the same as before, however, still serve to protect and improve the photographs shown to them. The Next time you look at the dizzying array of pictures in the big box store, remember that the artists who first produced pictures and decide whether to take advantage of the ability of artists who still take the time to create a work of art just for you.
