Impressionists made their best use. But why transform the reality, when the reality itself is so awesome?

Title: Norman Rockwell behind the Camera. I had always loved the paintings, All and every one of them was composed after photographs he'd shoot for the purpose, and the book conducively pairs the original takes with the final results. Impressive ! To the point I have taken my brushes out and will resume painting any time soon. Also, Ansel Adams referred to visualisation , Rockwell was a master at it, which is what I think his major achievement. Amiti?s du jardin Philippe, after hibernation. ======================================== Message du : 25/02/2010 De : "Marc Dufour " A : "Leica Users Group" Copie ? : Sujet : Re: [Leica] Strange clouds Hi Lluis, In the seventies, I used to paint. Abstract, of course; my roots were in Georges Mathieu, Zao-wou-Ki, Jackson Pollock, etc... But the art world wasn't for me, and I progressively changed the brushes for the camera. Later, in my work as a graphic designer, I've been working a lot with artists, preparing their exhibitions catalogues. Many of them knew my pictures, and encouraged me to show'em. Some of them wrote for my own photos exhibitions. And some of them wonder if they should have to change to photography :-) I'm more and more convinced that's better to watch -and catch with a picture, sometimes- all we have around, than "create". Our mind is limited, and also our vision. But our ego hasn't limits. Thanks for your comment. You've an artist soul and eye, amigo m?o.
