Descrizione del libro

The Rhetoric of the Frame addresses the question of the frame in the visual arts and how it influences the way we perceive artworks. The fourteen essays in this anthology consider the frame to be an indispensable, if volatile, complement to the artwork and they collectively consider the frame in its many aspects.
