On the move.





When it came to representing reality in art, the longest standing stumbling block for painters and sculptors was how to convey movement in a static image or sculpture. A new exhibition at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, curated by Jonathan Miller, explores the developments that took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries concerning this tricky subject. This exhibition got me think of a great impressionist - Van Gogh, how he used different lines and colors in his painting to express the nature of movement, everything become so alive and whimsical... I am amazed how evolution of painting and photography transform into today's computerized animation and 3D. Remember the early Ipod dancing posters tv spot?
