Comment on The Day I Saw Van Gogh’s Genius in a New Light

Comments

I'm struck by how bland some of the altered images are! Sure, still impressive but there is a certain quality of the spontaneity of the abrupt introduction of new or contrasting color that is lost is some of the transformations. As my personal preference I had to admit I much prefer the original although that's not to say they aren't magnificent works of art regardless.

A (professional) photographer friend of mine showed me one of his autumn landscapes. When I was not really impressed (I only saw some bland, kindof greenish kindof yellowish trees), he remembered: "Oh, I forgot you have that sad color filter on"
