Living with pictures

Blurb

Create a mood, define a style, and never have bare, inexpressive walls again! Make a real visual impact in every room with these exciting and original ways to arrange and display posters, paintings, drawings, and other images. Go beyond traditional methods of simply hanging artwork and consider such alternatives as propping up a single unframed canvas on top of a table to carefully planned groupings of a picture with well-chosen household objects to form a still life. Browse through a range of topics, each reflecting on a particular aspect of visually enhancing an interior: how to create depth and space, introduce color and texture, establish atmosphere, form combinations and sequences of pieces, add touches of surprise, and even select unusual material--including pin-ups, advertisements, and found objects. Throughout, beautiful color photographs show fabulous examples of ways to turn your own interior into something that's gallery-beautiful.
