So the art geek in me just cannot get enough of this looking waaaay up CLOSE to artwork and seeing the little abstractions in the BIG reality. I blame (or thank) both Chuck Close with his gridded portraits of the 90s (zoom in close on one and see what I mean) as well as digital photography...
Yes it is such a geeky love of mine that I took about 1000 close ups photos of paintings in the louvre. Just like these...
And yes sometime I spend my evenings just scrolling through them...
looking at them, I try to see the technique and palettes used, trying to guess what the artist was thinking and planning while creating their masterpiece ...
