In perfect harmony : picture + frame, 1850-1920

In perfect harmony : picture + frame, 1850-1920 / Eva Mendgen ... [et al.].

According to Vincent van Gogh, a painting was not really finished until it was framed; unmounted it was still 'in the raw'. He and many of his contemporaries regarded picture and frame as an aesthetic whole and chose or designed their own frames.
