It is truly fantastic. It was so interesting to see how much interaction there was between artists and photographers in those early days, and how quickly photography became an art form, and how artists quickly started to use photography to aid them in their art. I do hope it transfers to North America so you get a chance to visit yourself. I got the book as well which is very good.WoofWoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142792485921452481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617545316864155046.post-73344269787780476332016-05-14T22:03:50.210-04:002016-05-14T22:03:50.210-04:00Hi WoofWoof,

I hope you enjoy the exhibit. Have a wonderful time. Thanks for stopping by!

I think there's a sort of dressing up box quality to some of the more complicated ones where she tries to mimic famous paintings or mythological stories, dressing up her husband and servants in various disguises. I think it shows the superiority of painting when it comes to telling a story especially something historical, classical or mythological.

And the timing is perfect: from the 1840s to 1914. <br /><br />The question which direction the inspiration came from is one I still ponder today. Particularly from the Orientalist artists.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617545316864155046.post-71841548266821976702016-05-11T10:32:26.366-04:002016-05-11T10:32:26.366-04:00Hi Nick,
