What is it? (Who is it?)

It's part of a larger work. Guess before clicking on this link (to something amazing). And don't spoil in the comments.

I have seen this before. It remains bizarre.

If you look at the sculpture of the Titanic at the link, it appears as though there's a tiny guy-wire running between two masts.

That's pretty impressive.

And artist number 4's rose inside the tube -- how did he do that? I couldn't get his website to load, to find out. Physical vapor deposition?

The article claims only 42 presidents, but Bush 43's portrait is on the hair.

So you wanted the poor guy to paint Grover Cleveland twice?

Hmph. I was gonna say Robert Blake in Lost Highway.

अनामित म्हणाले...

There's clearly a duck in the bottom right corner.

How bipolar. I wonder if people went around saying:

"Hey, who did you like better. Cleveland 22 or Cleveland 24?"

Amusingly, Katharine Hepburn once confused a portrait of William Howard Taft with that of Grover Cleveland.

Well, it's amusing to me.

Sorry. This kind of stuff doesn't impress me. Actually, it makes me uneasy. Don't know why. It just does.

Flann O'Brien's take on this in The Third Policeman remains the best.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

It's either Kafka or Wittgenstein.

That feeling ricpic? "That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps."

FDR?

Were you doing some kind of search on "visionary minimalism" when you found this website?

ricpic म्हणाले...

My pride is injured because someone can paint portraits on a human hair and I can't? I doubt it. There's something sideshow freakish about these supersmall paintings. I think that's what makes me uneasy. Even queasy.

"Were you doing some kind of search on "visionary minimalism" when you found this website?"

Ha ha, no. Seems so apt!

I was reading Metafilter, a routine practice, and found the deputydog blog, which was linked for some great pics of bridges, then found this in another post.

Looks like Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.

Thanks Althouse, for posting this treat in art. I had seen some of this sort of art before, and really liked it.

We are seeing more art moving past traditional physical boundaries. And traditional storage media. We are by now familiar with artists that do mega "theme" art, those that do impermanent works with gas and flame.

Electronics and digital technology has opened up new areas of virtual art - which can be reproduced, even recreated (with minor or major command changes) with a click of a mouse. We can create a whole artist's conception city in 3-D right down to moving people and vehicles, and put it all in a tiny memory device.

Pretty exciting, all of it...
