In fact, no. Very visceral I imagine.
Even scary.

Hi David,
I hope you are having a good morning.
PW_Lecture_101
Hello, all. Before I begin I would hope that you
completed yesterdays assignment. I cannot stress enough
the importance of *really* bad Lee Majors pseudo-science
fiction movies on your local late show.
_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/
David raises a good point with his reference to "that
old religious art." My humble suggestion would be to
remove the word 'religious'. If, for instance, 500
years from now a 'human' was looking at a Fontaine
image and said "that old computer art" I (<ahem> my
clone) would surely take objection.
What does this leave us with?
"...that old art."
Let us narrow the discussion.
"old"
"It always shows people and
everything as flat and everything is flat..."
Narrow it even more.
"It always shows people..."
Forgiving my flawed logic...
Here it would be necessary to imagine a time before
the invention of photography where a recent/decent
painting (say one of Da Vince's obtuse works or one
of those Raphael's, as if he actually painted one, being
too busy...) was looked on as *almost* a
miracle.
Or image a time, only 50 or so years previous (1450)
that lifesize frescos were painted by Masters such
as Masaccio, or even that dolt Giotto.
Then you would have to imagine a time, earlier, where
humans actually believed in the 'truth' of images.
This, however, goes beyond the scope of this lecture.
As to "flat" I must admit to being clueless about this.
"Drab", ...not looking at the recently (and controversial)
restored Michelangelos.
Thank you all for attending today.
Peter Warren
Personal to David: Have they finished renovating that
park across the freeway from the Walker Art Center?
Man, all that construction when I visited really
harshed my mellow. A great city, nonetheless,
for sure.

Probably better than a sterogram but I have great hopes
of these variously sized-screens.

No problamo over here.
Ramble on,

Perspective came along fairly late in the game, so most "old" art
doesn't look right. Da Vinci's "The Last Supper"
(http://metalab.unc.edu/wm/paint/auth/vinci/lastsupp.jpg) for
example, has zillions of vanishing points. At least he tried to
establish depth, though.

I didn't know who, or what, a Delacroix was. So I looked it up...
http://www.mcs.csuhayward.edu/~malek/Illusions/2cross-view/Vieux/Delacroix/
which is apparently an attempt to see 3 of his paintings using cross-eyed
stereopairs. Looked flat to me. I have seen these paintings before.
There's a more contemporary artist with the same last name:
http://www.art-gallery-plus.com/gallery/Delacroix_Michel_/
Don't think I have seen these before.

But you keep referring to the Reniassance artists. You are also
referring to the most famous artists. So what about the common
pre-Reniassance artist? I think more recent art has much more individual
style; people have developed their own unique forms of art. Besides, the
fact that I find some art monotonous is an entirely opinionated matter
and there's no use arguing about it :-)

Hmm, I checked it again and IE started it up proclaiming Unknown Zone (security
zone no doubt). I can get there just fine though. Here's a URL to one section
of a painting, part of Garden of Earthly Delights, called Hell:
http://metalab.unc.edu/wm/paint/auth/bosch/delight/delightr.jpg
Maybe you can get to the jpegs instead, probably no difference unfortunately.
Try this one below instead, but the other places shows many more.

It helps when you see such paintings in real. Honestly.
I've seen paintings that had more depth (litterally ;)) than any
3D-rendering I have ever seen. Best example is the abstract work of
Gerhard Richter, but you'd HAVE to see it in reality, because in a
picture it's all lost. Rothko is a good example too.

It's all working fine now. Maybe I had one of my "bad connections" earlier
(retrieving posts was taking quite a long time too)
