I decided to update the Muybridge photo set to the modern art world. The issue was how to show the basic fundamentals of art movement in a four dimensional format. I found by gradually devolving the image into the basic shapes that make up the composition to be the most effective method. It is more Kooning than Pollock but abstract expressionism all the same.
I also found it to be a commentary on the image quality of old. What was amazing quality back in the day is like basic shaped and shadows to today's 24 mega pixel camera's and thousand dollar tilt-shift lenses. As time moves on the image we take today only gets worse and worse in our eyes.
The process was just a simple adjustment of one of the art filters preset in Photoshop to slowly simplify each of the twelve images. I found the simple use of the filter to make my own comment on the ease of today's technology vs the processes of old world art. What once took hours of drawing or cutting now takes minutes with a mouse and keyboard. Art is evolving like photography is for better or worse.
