Real-Life Painting

Reminds me of Pageant of the Masters:

Really great. I love these kinds of things ever since I saw this one movie… I forget what it’s called, but it was about a weird little girl who was also kind of a genius.

really???? the hair betrays it.and the hand too..
i mean, if anything it looks more like a 3d render than a painting to me.

It’s absolutely ridiculous.
And since when is Fauvism from the “late XIXth century” ?
All these painters fought against retinian art, paintings that looked like reality, and now some trickster makes a photograph of a girl made to look like something that doesn’t look like reality ?
Nonsense.

Girl’s got big ugly hands, but maybe it’s the makeup. At first glance, it fools you (despite all the people who say “I knew it was real”). Is that some form of pareidolia, where your mind expects it to be something else?

That is cool.

I’m very surprised to see my image here. I just heard about it from a friend. I’m flattered but would have appreciated a heads up from NeatOrama.

This is not a window display. It’s live a model on a set on a small stage outside. The natural sunlight light is diffused through white cloth to reduce shadows and contrast.

Incidentally, I’m not an art professor. I’m a MUSIC professor and classical guitarist.

Nice rack!

Professor Frary,

People don’t need to give you a heads-up to link to your stuff. Unfortunately, that’s just how the internet works. As long as they link back to where they found the image, there is no harm and no foul.

And I would feel a lot more sympathy for you if you had simply shot an email with your corrections instead of publicly berating the poster for a couple of simple mistakes.

Andrea the Great,

Actually, Prof Frary has every right to complain about the use of his photograph without permission. It is theft and a breach of international copyright law which DOES apply to the internet.

In view of this, he was actually being very polite in his post and his tone is hardly berating the original poster who SHOULD have asked for permission to use his photo!
