Why display art behind a Window Mount?
What constitutes good proportions in a Window Mount border width? |
||
Choice of mount border widths can be governed by a number of factors. Where the picture is going to hang is an important consideration. The subject of the art, and the style of the frame will also affect the amount of visual isolation and "breathing space" the mount can best provide. |

What is the Golden Ratio? In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. The figure on the right illustrates the geometric relationship. Mathematicians since Euclid and Pythagoras in ancient Greece have studied the properties of the golden ratio. The golden ratio often appears in patterns in nature. Throughout history artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio, believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing. The Golden Rectangle can be a useful guide to good proportions in picture framing. |
