WHERE- here.
- there are many pretty good color photocopies in full size, and lower. the smaller ones were made for horizontal and vertical format photo booklets.
___
- in my book, this painting is correctly framed with a flush frame that reveals all of the edges of the image. If it had been frame with the usual, overlapping frame, it would have had wood stripping added around the edge first. the idea is that the added wood becomes the part that is lapped by the standard frame- not the edges of the painting, itself.
- and i'm not just preventing the overlap of the image- i mean to SHOW the edge: how the canvas and the paint 'arrive' at the edge. this is a natural border that is a pleasure to see.
___
Tech note-
- spelling of Vinavil is a guess. it was sold at the art store near the Accademia. i assume it's not around any more.
.....
- just googled it. it's an Italian company, still going.
- there is a category in the Vinivil company called 'vinyl acrylics'.
- i see only what look like medium bottles, like bottles of polymer.
- as i remember it the color was in the product. i certainly wasn't mixing pigment powders with it in Venice as we had to do at the time in the States. (there was no Liquitex, as yet. i didn't encounter Liquitex until we moved to San Francisco in 1964.
