Woo Hoo, I spelled it correctly!

This would be great, at least to those with an artistic bent.

You need to find an artist and replicate one of his works with photography.

Munch, for example....

Woot is right. I have been waiting too long for a challenge like this.

But do you mean to replicate a painter with photography (harder and less flexible), or an impressionistic style (more creative and more practical). In other words, are you suggesting we try to capture both subject and style of a painting?

For example, does "Van Gogh Sky" meet the challenge?



Or if not, show an example of something that does!

BTW - You could also do, "photo impressionism", per the definition in Freeman Patterson's Photo Impressionism book:

"The depiction in photography of emotion or character by details intended to achieve a vividnes or effectiveness more by invoking subjective and sensory impressions than by recreating an objective reality."

To add, no one was forced to select an artist's style to immortalize on DPC.... Better yet pick a dead artist and they cannot come after you. Well, unless they are ghosts.


Van Gogh

Sheesh y'all... I didn't say we couldn't do it or we shouldn't do it...I was just showing what had been done previously since the OP wasn't a member back then.

for some Munch is regarded as an impressionist, and he is catigorized as such in my art history books.

I'll take that back....... expressionist, sorry about that. I should really put my glasses on.

????? He painted the scream in 1893. That places him in the post-impressionism era.

I think redoing the scream would be a hoot! Just imagine, taking pictures of yourself on a bridge screaming. First to the looney bin, probably will not submit to the challenge :-)....

Well, wouldn't want to argue with your art history books, but, if I remember from my art history books .... in general Munch is categorized as an expressionist painter.

The colours are deffinently a Van Gogh-esc. If you could find an example of Van Gogh doing it, you be the dude... 10. In my books.

Yup, he was that for sure. Most artists, do not have just one hat.
