The Arts: Beyond a Shadow of a Face

Maybe it's just this week's giveaway, but I am in a silhouette state of mind.  The cutting or painting of the classic art form originated sometime in the 17th and18th centuries and is still going strong today.   There are countless ways to incorporate the silhouette into a traditional or contemporary interior.
