LIVING WITH PICTURES
Powers, Alan
2000 55534 For some of us, walls don't just hold the roof up--they're also the spot we choose to show off our favorite artists, collections, or random found objects. For proper effect, these treasures shouldn't just be chosen to match the sofa or tacked up to cover scuff marks in the paint, but planned with particular moods in mind. Author Alan Powers fills Living with Pictures with text and photographs designed to educate both eye and brain in the special art of picture grouping and how plain walls can best be used as a means of displaying their owners' personal style. Powers delves into specifics like texture, form, framing, and mood, showing every style from modern minimalism to baroque, and he discusses how to incorporate windows and other architectural features in detail, as well as how to protect delicate works of art from sun and moisture damage. When walls are made entirely of glass, as in one ultramodern living space, a sleek easel functions as a movable wall while displaying a treasured oil painting. Stark black-and-white photos enliven a stainless-steel kitchen, while a wall of antique cartoon illustrations adds a whimsical touch to an otherwise traditional room. Creativity and practicality are nicely blended here; decorators and new homeowners alike will enjoy this book both as a guide and an inspiration. --Jill Lightner From Library Journal Powers, Living with Books, shows how the display and selection of pictures, whether original paintings, prints, or photographs, can enhance home interiors. Color photographs primarily show a modern style in their depiction of various techniques of picture placement. Included are sections on printmaking, how to make a frame, types of frames, and picture hanging techniques. For the amateur, more information about the technical aspects of picture placement would be helpful. Purchase for large interior design collections. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
