How can I find out about the process you use to do that?
Dale Houstman
I don't know how they did it, but I've colorized lots of pictures using
Photoshop, and it's pretty easy, although it might take a little finesse
to get exactly what you want.

Yes...I have a hard time trying to color inside the lines with a silly
'mouse'...

No offense intended to whoever did the work on that picture, especially
if they're only doing it for their own enjoyment, but that's a pretty
poor colorization job, at least by any professional standard. There's
one hue applied to the whole head - hair, eyes, lips, glasses,
highlights, shadows, everything.

Everyone knows color wasn't invented until about 1966. ;-)

You went to his website. That's all he really cares about.

looks with different hues applied.

Yeah. You can tell it was colorized, but it's not a bad effort. I'd feel
pretty good about it if I could do as well.
I have a copy of the colorized 1933 King Kong. The Lennon pic looks a lot
better than that film.

Love it when the color bleeds off the image.............art in itself

Try this one. I spent twenty minutes to a half hour on it - it's not
ideal, I could do more and clean it up some if I wanted to spend more
time on it, but it's just the idea of trying to get some nuance into it.
Bernie Woodham
Pretty good.
Dale Houstman
But the obvious intent here is to create a "realistic" portrait of a
person, and there is no actual attempt at art. I think the success or
non-success of the image has to be judged by different standards than
one might aplly to Warhol, or to Gaugin's "Yellow Christ" or Franz
Marc's "Blue Horse".

Another Franz Marc fan??
-Ehtue
abe slaney
Oh, everybody's a Franz Marc fan nowadays. I can't turn on the TV
without hearing "Franz Marc this" or "Franz Marc that."
Dale Houstman
Sure. Not my favorite, but certainly a good'un. My "favorite painters"?
Hard to say, but there's Magritte, Max Ernst, Schwitters, Hieronymous
Bosch, Blake, Pollack, Gorky, Turner, Whistler, Van Gogh, Hopper, and a
hundred or so more...

Dale Houstman
There's going to be a sitcom about him and his friend next year, called
"Der Blau Pferd" and starring Scott Baio as Franz. I hope Penny Marshall
is involved, but she's busy with her Rimbaud biopic, starring Robin
Williams as Verlaine. No word yet on the title actor, but I'm pulling
for John Goodman.
dmh
abe slaney
Not bad... I'd add Titian, Rembrandt, Goya, Constable, Monet, Uccello,
Ryder, Marin, DeKooning, Rothko, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Soutine,
Bierstadt, FitzH Lane and El Greco. All aboard!

Rimbaud was biopic? Well that explains a lot!

I absolutely LOVE 'children's' art...it is MAGICAL. I have a large
collection.

Really? Damn! I haven't seen any of that stuff. There's a great, almost
unknown to those "not in the know" museum in Munich, that has the most of
his art... along with other Blaue Reiter artists, including Kandinski,
Macke and Feininger, where I was first won over. What a period... and what
a shame he didn't live through WWI.
-Ehtue
btw, Marc's Blue Horse is FAR from his best or even most influential. Could
you have perhaps meant the Tower of Blue Horses, which, unfortunately is
now lost.
Ehtue
Damn, Dale, though I don't take your post seriously in its details, I'm
really surprised to learn that Marc has become a household name. How did
this happen? (I have to admit that I don't watch much TV).
-Ehtue
Ehtue
I guess for me one of the most outstanding things about Marc was how he was
progressing and then was cut short at a very early age by WWI. Still, his
influence on German -- and other -- painters after he died was tremendous.
I can't help thinking "if you like Kandinski, you'd love Marc" --
especially if he had lived past a senseless war.
-Ehtue
abe slaney
Sorry, Ehtue - I was being facetious (not a whole lot of abstract
painting being talked about on prime time TV these days!) - but I do
like Marc!
Ehtue
Ah, well, it WHOOOOSHED right over my head!
