need a word
this is needed for a quilty idea so it is on topic.
what is the word to describe art that is say 3 separate panels placed side by side on a wall. the painting is all related, might be an entire pix that is shown in 3 panels, might be one pix in three seasons, something like that. i know there is a word but darned if i can think what it is. tia, j. |

need a word
what is the word to describe art that is say 3 separate
panels placed side by side on a wall. Triptych? is there a different word for multiple panels, no specific number? Seems not, looking at the OED. And a triptych is supposed to fold, like a mediaeval altarpiece - the "-ptych" bit is to do with folding rather than just being a panel. You can have a pentaptych, though. (Sounds like it ought to be something small and spiny that lives in leaf litter). ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
