Art About Art: More and more people flock to museums. My recent project is a meditation of this phenomenon. I am struck by the contrast in the attitude or dress between contemporary figures and those in these masterpieces of art. In some aspects the viewer is like a continuum with the past. For me, copying some of my favorite artists' works I study them more intensely and pay tribute to the figurative tradition.
