There’s something about classic cinema. That hazy slide of film that comes across with life in motion yet freeze-framed time.
It is able to create the illusion of stepping back in time in eras of glamour and mystery behind the façade of proper décor.
Think Greta Garbo, Cary Grant, Marlene District, Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, and all the others my weak memory can’t name; All with dark sides that came across in a steady stare or pensive glance.
Here on Deviant Art I have come across a couple of artist who have been able to present to me the same vibe as watching classic cinema. Strips of moments captured, moments soaked in profound and emotive possibilities.
In order to appreciate the stories, it is necessary to watch these images so as to allow their words to be heard.
To do that in one two or three frames is talent, brilliance. There is much to one can learn by watching these two image-makers. Much to hope to be able to emulate—as a student to professor…and I sit here attentive listening so as to learn.
