Thanks. Not sure I want to be too intimate with a cow (although I suppose I have been with a few already!), but each to his own. > > Cool blog entry. There too, quite a number of the photos move > me more than the artworks. > Me too, but I am also struck by how accurate and truthful many of the paintings are, and what great vision the painters had. I think there is an superb book to be had out of this blog, coupled with some writing about the nature of art, imitation, photography, the human condition. And so on. For example, look at the photos paired with the Pollocks. Would any photographer have seen and taking those photos if Pollock and other abstract artists hadn't made their paintings? I doubt it. But look too at how much the photographs add to our appreciation and understanding of the paintings. I really hope they bring out a book.
