Art for a wall the sun gets to
The Frame is now sold on how it behaves in a bright room, and that is the right fight. What nobody mentions is that a glare free panel quietly changes which pictures hang well before noon.
What changed, what hangs well, and what is newly up from the vaults. Short, occasional, and also in RSS.

The art store hung its first film stills last Monday, thirty-eight frames from A24. Which cinematic pictures survive a month on a wall, which are spent by Thursday, and what is already in the vaults if you want the look without the subscription.
The centenary year is running in France and the biggest exhibition of it opens this week, built around Monet and time. Five of his pictures are already in the vaults, and his habit of painting the same view at different hours is worth stealing for a wall that can change its mind.
The equinox falls on Wednesday, and daylight is moving quicker now than at any other point in the year. What that does to the picture on your wall, and the two walls it calls for in the two hemispheres.
The Frame can draw a border around any piece, and most walls are still running whichever one the TV chose on the first day. Which pictures want a mat, which are spoiled by one, and what colour to use.
The Frame dims itself as the room dims, which is right for a bright landscape and often wrong for a nocturne. Which settings to touch, which to leave alone, and what to hang after sunset.
Two photography collections join the masters: modern colour pictures of America, and the planet and the deep sky from NASA. Four new walls, and why a photograph looks better on a Frame than it ever did on paper.
The 1.1 update lets a piece be wide or tall. Tell Wall Muse your Frame hangs sideways and portraits hang upright, landscapes hang between two quiet bands, and a test card proves it.
The masters arrive in Wall Muse as curated drops: eight walls of public-domain paintings and prints, hand-picked for the Frame, each one a tap from hanging.
Art Mode is built into every Frame and costs nothing. The subscription only pays for the catalogue. Here is how to fill the wall with your own photographs and the masters instead.
Wall Muse fills a Samsung Frame TV from your phone: the masters at full resolution, your own photographs, or a sentence painted into art. No cables, no SmartThings.
