Le Corbusier gives precise instructions for mounting and framing André Bauchant's André Bauchant's paintings: "Messieurs. 1° Bauchant very often painted his canvases right up to the edge, (- without stretcher). To frame in no way, fold the painted canvas over the stretcher, but maraud it onto a Instead, the canvas should be stretched over the frame and nailed to it. 2° Caution! The frame must never encroach on the edge of the canvas, as is often edge of the canvas, as is often the case, but press down on the extreme edge by only 1 millimeter. I would be grateful if you could bear these imperative requirements in mind. Thank you and sincerely. Le Corbusier".
