Robert Moore Kulicke (1924 – December 14, 2007) was an American artist, frame maker, and teacher.
Though most influential for modernizing the design of picture frames, he was also a noted painter of small and delicate still lifes, as well as a jewellery maker credited with reviving the ancient goldsmithing technique of granulation.
Returning home after serving three years in the Army during World War II, he became interested in picture framing.
In New York he befriended the Abstract Expressionists Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell, and designed frames based on a simple band of polished aluminum that would be used on hundreds of works by these and other Modernists.
[4] In 1968 he perfected the granulation technique which had been practiced from antiquity to the 11th century, and used sporadically thereafter, which he then taught to others in jewellery making workshops and academies he founded.
