what does this sentence mean? "Matte has inset of beadwork done by the artist" can you explain it?

Answer 1

Matte is a type of frame (made of thin colored cardboard) to match the artwork and bring out the colors within the artwork. The art can be displayed within the matte frame only, or the art and matte can be reframed in a larger frame of wood, etc.
Sometimes the matte itself is painted, decorated with dried flowers, or other things depending on what is the central theme of the art work. Sounds like this artist did beadwork on the matte frame.

Answer 2

That sounds like the caption of a piece of artwork, particularly because the beginning is clipped like a caption or a headline. In other styles of writing, it might be "The matte item has an inset of beadwork..."

'Matte' is a dull finish on photographs, as opposed to 'glossy'.

Answer 3

an example of the artist beadwork should be inset into the matteof edge of pic frame small pic inset on larger one
Matte is inner trim of pic frame usualy irish linen if quality frame an inset would be removeable if you dont see it

Answer 4

Sounds like a description of some craft piece. I am not sure what a "matte" is but perhaps it is an artsy term for just a mat - like a table mat. This mat would have some beads woven in the middle in a pattern designed by the referenced artist. Best I can do for you...

Answer 5

It means the canvas or whatever the artist did his work on, has been inlaid with beadwork (He put beads into the piece of art).

Answer 6

Without any reference to "what the books actually ARE", there's not enough information to "rewrite" the sentence due to the lack of information about "the books". In English "the books" can have a variety of meanings: could mean a number of literary works (as in the "book" 'The Da Vinci Code') "the books" can mean also in English "accounting ledgers"............ They way that the sentence is written now, it sounds to ME (as this is a personal interpretation) "The books got left behind" means to ME: "The books that were meant to be taken [with one] were forgotten [to be taken] by the person in question." Another complete example of the re-worked sentence would be: Due to the fact that we were in a hurry to leave for the airport, the books that we needed for the trip got left behind. I hope this helps............ Christopher K.
