More information about the frame

Bell?s paintings from his ?Frame as Form? period are curvilinear in shape and often very large with picture areas that are made in sections and bolted together. He found that sometimes the external form seemed to cut through the picture area. This and the unusual shape of the works necessitated the invention of a completely different process of making the stretchers.
