Kunst der Fuge - w white frame

My apologies for posting (almost) the same picture twice; you'll find the reason below. If you feel like faving or featuring this and haven't seen the black-framed version of my "Art of the Fugue", please visit it first and compare:

My friend and watcher =Zhania was wondering what my deviation "Art of the Fugue" [link] would look like with a white frame. Which is kind of ironic, because she seems to love black. The frames that form the edge for my pictures (note that I don't say "the frames around my pictures" - they're part of them) are often the result of some thinking and experimenting. They're not just decoration or a defensive zone against the outside world, they can be part of the composition (notably here: [link] ) and, in my opinion, they tend to emphasize the dark or the light parts of the image. In the case of my dark, conceptual and textured work, their degraded form or their absence are a conscious choice too. They can also be in some cases an indication of a (lighter) mood.

So, while I personally prefer a dark frame for my Kunst der Fuge, I'm keen to hear any discussion or arguments about them. And =Zhania too.

Amazingly, this little experiment got featured!
