WOW! That's amazing, it looks just like a photo!

[THROBBS]

At the moment I am working with a project about Marcel Duchamp, particularly his 'ready-mades'.

What I like about Duchamp was not that he 'thought outside the box', but that he widened the definition of creative art to include almost everything 'within the box'.

While his contemporaries were exploring various new ways of producing art, such as fauvism and cubism, Duchamp was telling the world "Look at this. It is Art because I say it is. Art is everywhere. You just have to look."

"WOW! That's amazing, it looks just like a urinal." but he calls it a fountain.

Duchamp could draw, could paint, could produce sculpture, but his influence started when he stopped doing that and 'found' Art around him.

Duchamp was rather brilliant, as you mentioned, he could create what was considered "traditional art" (at that time), but pushed the limits, he challenged the viewer, and he could articulate this. Today, it is much more difficult to do what he has already done, but in a new way..... because he did it. That is notto say that one cannot push those boundaries. Too often "artists" do not know their art history (as you do Ogg), and as often have no "message", no "Story" to tell.

Some say they would pay for that sort of image (a digitally manipulated photo), but some, I feel are just sucking up. (and/or are completely clueless)

saying costs nothing!

I'd need to exam your soul.

I'd send you an ice-cream but I expect it will be a revolting mess by the time it has crossed the Atlantic. We have several good Italian ice-cream parlours locally.

But one of the best ice-cream purveyors is on Southwold Pier, Suffolk.

That's one hell of a thread bump. Eleven years?

Still pertinent, and different folk on now (besides me)

Coulda just reposted the premise, but here it is, already under way.

On topic — my latest submission up front was drawn using photo reference (my own). Not something that do often.
As expected, it got pretty good response. Looking at other images/artists who get good scores, they are all pretty "tight".
Keep in mind that I feel that "tight" is not necessarily a good thing. There is a balance between control and looseness or spontaneity, such that the life is not squeezed out.

Not sure how much of that life that I squeezed out.

There is life in your latest published artwork. I can’t think of a picture of yours that it is lifeless. There’s accuracy and spirit or whatever you want to call it in your drawings in my opinion.
