    Really amazing perseverance! Rich people with OCD are really scared!...

    I can't agree with Tim's attitude at all. I can't see the existence of art at all. Although the discovery and practice are really great, it has nothing to do with Vermeer if the original work is first copied into a printed matter, and then people restore the scene according to the printed matter, and then paint according to the restored scene. So it can only be said by David Hockney, who is lying on the gun, that it is the documentation of the experiment, so there is also a problem with the...

    "Useless Use". The moment Tim finally ends his experiment, there is no ecstasy, but long silence, exhaustion, and tears. Indeed, the line between art and science should not be so decisive, and the art of painting in the seventeenth century remains a...

    It took five years to reproduce Vermeer's masterpiece, and the spirit of dedication to art has surpassed Cao Xueqin... PS The ending song is Bob...

    Clear thinking. You can imagine what kind of birds the Chinese would...

    This film completely changed the way I imagined Vermeer's creation. I read in the history books that he used visual tools when painting, but I never imagined that the practice was like this. It turned out that Vermeer meticulously restored the picture of the sight glass to the drawing board meticulously, using ingenious tools, and using hand and eye coordination. The enigmatic colors and tones in Vermeer's pictures are not his "fabricated" pictures, but produced by him like a "human flesh color...

    Wonderful! ! ! ! How to prove this conjecture! ! ! It's really awesome, it took 1825 days to complete this argument! Art is not a term with a single positioning, its definition is constantly changing in the development of human history, and the "technology" in it is also constantly...

    How to make a human flesh camera. It's so cool, I want to draw (shoot) a picture myself after reading...

    Should be read with Hockney's Secret...

    Not a boring art history puzzle at all, but a very Geeky's interesting record of experiments that will make you forget the results you were originally curious about. The line between Art and Craftsmanship is not always...

    A point of view as a professional

    Kudos to the upright brother from Texas, but as a professional, I have to point out that there is a loophole in this painting method. Vermeer's paintings are all multi-layer indirect painting methods, not this direct painting method. There is an essence between the two. s difference.

    For example,...

    "Cheating" Vermeer, hello

    Inspired by the speculation of Vermeer's painting method in David Hockney's book in the United Kingdom, he made a set of installations manually with lenses and reflective concave mirrors, and made a complete set of furniture and wooden strips to decorate glass windows with a lathe by himself. The...

Tim's Vermeer quotes

  • Natalie Jenison: So if anything falls askew, your painting's in no danger, is that correct?

    Tim Jenison: No, I wouldn't say that... But, you know, I can always start over.

  • Philip Steadman: Using Tim's device, it isn't easy, but somehow it does turn you into a machine... You become a machine. Was Vermeer a machine? Maybe Vermeer was strong-minded enough to think, "I'll become a machine".
