Old Man : Henry Kondracki

On the first night of our holiday I woke up at 3am thinking the difference between photography art and painted art was depth of field. The following morning I was excited in visiting the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art and this idea was still in my crazy head.

 

On entering the 2nd level (I think) this amazing, amazing picture hit me in the head. Now the camera I used in the museum that day was lost on my way home but this picture was taken by the love of my life and I thank her for allowing me to upload it.

 

It is inspirational to me not because I was going to copy it but inspired by it. I’m afraid when I get excited about a picture I get very noisy and don’t understand why other people do not see what I see.

I have no formal training in art nor do I care how much about it’s worth but the great enjoyment in enjoying a picture does it for me.

 

The picture is called Old Man painted in 1991
