500 years of women in art.
This you-tube is absolutely mesmerizing. The animation of these paintings, the eyes and the expressions and the way they come alive is simply stunning. I felt it grow a little sad as we moved into late 20th century…..there was certainly something missing in the abstract styles, the emotive power of eyes and expression, combined with the string music in the background, that felt tragic. But it ends on a brighter note, with a return of a gaze.

That made me totally crazy. I wanted each face to stop for a second, to let it register, before it moved on to the next one. Actually, I thought the concept was wonderful, and the execution flawless. I just wish the pacing had been slower, so that each face could be savored. The rapidity of changing images was just too much for me, but I’ll admit to being an “old fogie” before my time. =)
