Zombie art

[frenchani]

I found this on Open Culture:

With his short video “Beauty,” the Italian director Rino Stefano Tagliafierro takes “a series of well selected images from the tradition of pictorial beauty” and uses the “fire of digital invention” to animate sentiments lost on immobile canvasses. In the video above, you will see works by Caravaggio, Vermeer, Rubens

Hmmmmm - not sure I like it either. It's a little odd and rather makes me think of animated corpses.....?? I don't mind the landscapes so much though.

Yeah that's why I called it zombie art.

I made it halfway through, and then got extremely bored. It looks like art made into pop-up books where you can make the arms and heads move. And it brings the strange contorted positions that most of the personages are in, too much to your attention.

I know it's weird and often wrong. If anything else, it emphasizes that paintings are not just pictures, and certainly not photographs.
