In the mid-1800’s, the Hudson River School of painters became an influential group in the American art scene. Known for their incredible depictions of the newly opened West and America’s wilderness in the Northeast, their paintings too needed to be captured and gilded to create a grand presence.
Also during that same period, artist James McNeil Whistler had a significant impact on the art world. The style of frame named after his influential artist, the Whistler, has strong lines, but simpler with fewer embellishments than previously seen in American framing. These frames have beautifully gilded surfaces and like the Hudson River School frames, have become representative of the American Frame style.
These artists and others had a significant impact on American frames, and today, inspire the designs for American style frames.
