I did one twice. Here is number 3. https://www.dropbox.com/s/yhaigx8l9hcqpin/DSCF5894.jpg Now that's my type of image. I thought you might like the concept.;-) I find there is a Pollock feel to them with the random application/placing and mix of color. Bravely daring to continue the thread .. I believe the work and the photos there of represent a subset of pointillism. I might go farther and call the subset textured chaotic pointillism. ;-) I also suspect much of the impact of this vast gum sculpture doesn't translate well to a photo, much (as I've heard) the full impact of Pollock #2 doesn't get captured by photos. I will say that Savageduck #2 [wink] captures some of that vastness. :-) ;-) Here is a section of Pollock #2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/07nar87vykgn05r/DSC_0547C2.jpg ...and a section of said SD #2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dyhqjvsm1o0v8xu/DSCF5897C1.jpg I think SD #2 is Pollock by way of Monet. I looked up Pollock #2, and while I never saw it in person, to me it's just paint spatters. It would be a nice way to break up a big expanse of a plain wall, but I don't see the "excitement" in it. (I may not know art, but I know what I like!) I think SD #2 falls short when you can't see the texture of it. Or experience the bio-hazard. There is a lot of art that does not translate into photographs. One example that I feel strongly about is the Baptistry Doors, in Florence. I had looked at tons of photos of them, and could never understand what the big deal was. I was fortunate enough to see the originals on a trip to Florence. I stood looking at them for quite a while, while feeling emotional. No photographic reproduction has even come close to evoking a spiritual feeling. -- PeterN |
