Torn posters are a bit of a cliche, but not necessarily a bad one.
This one has too much white for my taste - it lacks balance.
A calendar of them could work, but would be difficult.
Each one would have to be very distinct,
or they'd just blur into each other and become repetitive.

Yeah quite right - and that's my trouble/challenge with it.. although this
particular one is pretty much my favorite of a few I've collected.
It's an experiment.
So how do you like Frankenthaler? Hans Hoffman? Frank Stella?
I'm afraid I don't know much about American art or abstract expressionism,
so I had to Google them. I'd need to look more closely before I formed
an opinion.
aah - Well I shouldn't have used Frank Stella except for the redundancy
factor - but my found collages remind me of Frankenthaler and Hoffman.
My reference point for torn poster photos is Ernst Haas.

hmm - well a quick review on line and I would say that the
percentage of Haas's stuff that bears some resemblence to the
torn pages is roughly the same as they bear in mine - mostly
it isn't my thing.. but occasionally it is.
And someone (BRuce?) mentioned Aaron Siskind - which is spot on,
although his pattern shots are black and white.

thanks for a good critique - sorry I'm not in actual street mode these days.
