What Truths Can You Divine from Instagram Paintings?
- 082349872349872 6y agoA working sculptor once told me he appreciated my pieces because they needed to be experienced in the round. He would have liked to be able to compose in that style, but as his potential purchasers all worked off photographs, it meant that while he sculpted in 3D, his work had a preferred viewing direction, from which it was composed as in high relief.
- mikece 6y agoYou can certainly get a view into the mind of the artists. A saying I learned 30 years ago when I first got into photography is "the lens looks both ways" meaning the viewer sees into the mind of the photographer, what they find interesting, as much as the photographer is looking out onto the world. As painting and photography are both forms of visual art an apt adaptation could be "the canvas looks both ways." Aside from that, truth in art is always highly subjective.
