A very, very subtle thing but⊠how shall I put it? âŠon the original painting, the girlâs eyes are alive and well and truly laughing, whereas on a 3D version, theyâre just⊠neutral: a bit like a mannequin or a robot trying to mimic a smile. Maybe itâs the eyebrows: on the painting, theyâre well defined â and we articulate a lot with our eyebrows in real life.
I know I sound like one of those old whiners who for generations have been saying that the contemporary music is âdeadâ: first, the jazz lovers, rallying against the âelectric,â âdeadâ sounds of rock; then the rockers saying the same stuff about âdigital,â âdeadâ techno. But I honestly donât mean âoil painting vs CGâ: itâs not about the medium, itâs about the content.
