Hogarth, The Painter and His Pug, 1745
The edge of a painting is its frontier, where the artist negotiates his boundaries with the real world, where art begins and ends and where the eye enters and leaves the image. It determines, in an infinitely subtle number of ways, how you read a painting - which, unlike a book or a piece of music, has no pre-determined beginning or end.
