Translating a Moment / From Painting to Sketch in 27.2 seconds.
The average person spends 27.2 seconds viewing a piece of art in a gallery. Using this time constraint, what can be captured of a work of art and what can it tell us of the painting’s composition.
Sketching Cézanne’s work with rapidity, the syntax of the painting makes itself known*. I found myself starting always with the jug, and was able to get the most detail completed moving (mostly) left to right from there. Looking at the painting now, I can see that such is the manner in which my eyes trace it naturally.
