Abstract: A minimal parts, quick picture frame, for framing paintings, pictures, photographs, graphics, weavings, etc., for viewing, centers on the use of at least four framing pieces, i.e. two sets of opposite pairs, all made by cutting them from a continuous type plastic extrusion, formed to frictionally and resiliently grip the other components of the picture mounting composite. No additional hardware or fasteners are used to hold the pieces of the frame together, nor are tools needed, following the cutting of the extrusion. Selected lengths of these generally mitered cornered framing pieces all grip the edges of a picture mounting composite, comprising the overall assembly of a picture, painting, etc. and other related mounting material, such as backing boards, glass or clear plastic covering, etc.
