Above: Robert M. Kulicke (1924-2007), "Vase of Flowers". Kulicke is best known for his work as a framer. He is the inventor of the simple plexiglass box frame, and a welded aluminum frame that allowed consumers to frame art work for themselves. In 1951 he opened Kulicke Frames, becoming friendly with abstract expressionists like Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline, who asked him to design thin frames they thought suited their work.  He started painting his small still life subjects after being exposed to 300 works by Morandi that he was commissioned to make frames for. The small Morandi paintings of bottles gave him the confidence to work on small paintings with modest subjects. You can read more in this obituary written by Roberta Smith for the NY Times.
