Photography of Paintings
In an earlier post I stated my opinion that some works of art are more favored by the camera than others. On Wednesday I raised the issue with Mike Kelmer, whose Charlottesville, Virginia business, Photoworks, specializes in fine art photography. When I asked him if it were possible that some paintings were simply more photogenic than others, without hesitation, he said, "of course"--as if it were a settled fact.
So keep that fact in mind when viewing photographs of the works in The Kay Ballard Collection. Some of the works are less photogenic, but when viewed in person none is homely. (Unless the artist meant it to be.)
