Certainly in the late 20th century, his technique itself is going to be off-putting to a large number of viewers, something they're not going to be able to get past. But I'm old-fashioned enough to think of "technique" as secondary anyway (said as someone who paints in a realist style) and am far more interested in the subject and all it connotes. And self-introspection is a pretty basic subject. <BR/><BR/>But don't worry, something else will appear soon....maybe jsut a Sachiko placeholder, since I just heard her new one yesterday.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-33804630183594752402007-11-18T07:59:00.000-05:002007-11-18T07:59:00.000-05:00Actually there is something very disquietening abo...Actually there is something very disquietening about them. Those eyes burn into your brain. I didn't know Beckman at all before reading this Brian, but having dabbled in a spot of realism in the past myself I can respect the way he doesn't just produce lifelike images but brings massive amounts of soul and expression into the image too.Richard Pinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168522717135806763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-73300838266684596822007-11-18T07:40:00.000-05:002007-11-18T07:40:00.000-05:00dittodittololabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00673137047219723402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-54508328560509505542007-11-17T17:24:00.000-05:002007-11-17T17:24:00.000-05:00Brian can you put up a new post or two soon please...Brian can you put up a new post or two soon please, those Beckman portraits are really unnerving and I don't like the way they stare at me every time I open your blog. They need shunting down a bit! :)Richard Pinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168522717135806763noreply@blogger.com
