Framed Skeleton Artwork
The term skeleton comes from the Greek word and refers to the totality of bones that support the body and the two skeletal types are the exoskeleton and endoskeleton. FramedArt.com doesn’t focus too much on the scientific side of the term and instead dwells on the symbolic value of the term. For centuries, people had a negative association for the term as skeletons were usually regarded as symbols of death, a message brilliantly conveyed by Framed Skeleton Art.
Framed Skeleton Art can have a chilling effect on the audience, but will also encourage people to take a step back and reflect. An image is worth a thousand words and this is exactly the message that painters and skilled artist tried to imprint in the mind of the audience.
