I love that there's a woman in a yellow coat here, and I love her spatial relationshiop to the man and to the Futurist painting and sculpture. (The sculpture is Umberto Boccioni's Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913).)
Then there's this, a woman in big polka dots hustles past a Leger painting:
Fernand Leger is not a Futurist, but my Sony camera is futuristic enough to correct for motion, and in grabbing and stilling the moving image of the woman, it gave a speeding forward look to the Leger painting, "Three Women," in the background. Found Futurism!

Do people ever object when you snag a picture of them like that?
This is a serious question.
I think I would be annoyed if somebody was snapping pictures of me while I was trying to look at some art. Do you wait there with the camera out until they walk past, so that you don't appear to be a paparazzo?
Adam: The answer is no. It's a public place, and I don't get close to them.
Ann - isn't the answer "very rarely, but sometimes" ("I get a look I interpret as disapproving, but I show the picture to the young woman in green, and she smiles and gives me permission to use it")?
But she didn't object. She was just noticing, and I made a point of asking her if it was okay, really, mainly because her looking up made her face more obvious than it would have been in the picture I was composing. The fact that she didn't object suggests that other people don't either.
Hmmm. I dunno, I'm not sure that just because I am in a public place that I would not take offense if I noticed a stranger was taking a picture of me.
Maybe I'm just a misanthrope, but I think I might flip out, and say something like "You've stolen my sooooul!" :-)
Well, Adam, maybe you should worry about them looking at you. How can you bear it?
Actually, these pictures were taken in NYC (obviously) and I thought people there were impressively casual and easygoing about mingling in a public space.
