California-born artist John Frame’s history, exhibitions to date, and bibliography are included in this exhibition catalogue which presented his poetic sculpture in an exhibition of the same title at the Long Beach Museum of Art from January 7 – April 10, 2005. Best known for his evocative sculptural installations which combine found objects with superbly crafted wood forms, John Frame has created figurative sculpture over the past twenty-five years which are poetic, dramatic and richly multi-layered.

Ranging in size from 7 to 96 inches and dating from 1980 to 2005, the sculptures of John Frame comprise an inspiring collection of intimate notations that chronicle the evolution of the artist and his prodigious imagination. Frame presents highly refined carved wood figures with the compelling freshness of mixed media assemblage.  A keen observer of human nature, Frame’s sculptures inspire the contemplation of universal questions for our contemporary life.
