The Backsides
of some famous Paintings 2008
Salvador Dali
"Portrait der Madame Isabell Styler-Tas", 1945
Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin
"Portrait der Madame Isabell Styler-Tas", 1945
Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin
It astonishes me that famous paintings actually have backsides. Of course they do, but if you look at them you can see that there is an existence of these painting within time and space. The front very often appears to be inside a timeless bubble.
I would like to continue this project - what does the Mona Lisa look like from behind? - but unfortunately it is almost impossible to get any permission to take such pictures. So I will see if this project ever continues. I haven´t lost my optimism yet, so currently I still say that it is "in progress".
