I just got back from a weekend trip to Houston. Jeff and I went to visit his mother who is serving a welfare mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). Ahhh, the warm breezes. I love those. We went to the art museum and it was well worth it. I wanted to photograph the Singer-Sargent they have because I love to look at a Singer-Sargent painting. He paints with complete confidence. Whether he is putting down a slash of paint or defining a cheekbone, the application is perfect. It creates a bold combination of the realistic and the abstract. It, however, was in a "no photos" section of the museum (which seemed to be most of the museum) so I can't share. I could take pictures in the European art collection, and I decided to take pictures of a game I often play in an art museum--find the modern/abstract painting inside a pre-modern painting. I'll give you six examples and you see if you can find which realistic painting it came from. Here are the found paintings:
And here are the originals:
good point
