In that painting vp doesn't need to be found- it should be felt.

Assuming that everyone here has something like Photoshop on their computer,
here's a fun exercise for our group:

1. Download an image of Manet's "Folies Bergere"
2. Put a red dot wherever you see an "implicit vanishing point"
3. Email that image to me, and I'll put them all up on a webpage
4. Then we can compare them all with the ones that William has found.


Do you think they will all be the same?

If they are different -- how might we prove which, if any, are correct?

If such a proof can be convincingly made -- those who were wrong may then
ask themselves if they can see the work better after knowing where the real
vp's can be found.

(BTW -- I can't take the test, because I  have no idea how implicit vanishing
points can be found,
and certainly cant find any in that painting)




>By implicit vp in Manet's painting, I refer to the multiple vps in the work,
none of which organizes the whole painting but only sections, implying that
when one looks at a section it is organized to a vp but when one looks
elsewhere in the painting, another vp takes over, that contradicts the other,
and so on.  Actually there are many vanishing points in the painting and they
tell you where your eye level is and what your position is vis-a-vis the
painting.
