Most Popular Paintings
After studying much this past year and teaching many seminars, I am becomming more aware of what seems to be the most popular paintings' similarities. (Other than the basic art "tricks")
I've turned several of the old masters paintings into black and white and analyzed them. It is striking what can be learned from them in that state.
Perhaps many of you may have already studied this. And this may have already been discussed on the list and, if so, then would someone please point me to the thread.
Would anyone have anything to share as per your experience with this subject?
This appears to me to be perhaps a natural thing and yet it also appears to be a deliberate application of two or more secrets of these masters. Any discussion on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
