My first job out of college was in the PR department of a modern art museum. I'd walk between galleries on the way to deliver a message or finish up a task and often be stopped in my tracks by a work of art. I may have passed it a hundred times before, but a small detail would catch my eye and it was like seeing it again for the first time.

One of my favorite works was a black-and-white Pablo Picasso oil painting, Portrait of Sylvette. It's done in Picasso's signature cubist style and features a French woman with a high ponytail and even higher cheekbones. You could get lost in the brushstrokes or be starstruck by its famous maker, but what drew me in was the juxtaposition of the painting and its ornate frame.В

Punctuated by a frilly, gold-leafed pattern, the frame seemed better suited to a Renaissance painting than a modern abstract-which is exactly why I loved it. Both pieces offered a strong point of view, without compromising their style, yet they managed to bring out the best in each other.В
