Painting was invented because there were no cameras, like we have now, to make a record of things and of people. Of course, artists did add their own personal interpretations when they attempted to represent the world around them in liquid media for painting such as oil, acrylic, and watercolors. Camera images cannot replace the magnificent paintings by the British painter J.M.W. Turner (Joseph Mallord William Turner). He made the skies burn with flames! Then take for example, the 19th-century Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne. He painted blurry landscapes because he was nearsighted! But the paintings do give his interpretation of reality, as least as he saw it. Now, if he'd had glasses, things might have been different. But glasses only became widely available and affordable in the early 20th century, due to mass production techniques and the adoption of new materials like plastics. Oh, about Carlos, see the link for pics of him when young made by the new Caravaggio. When he died he was no longer a child, but a young man. Not pedophile bait, but very appropriate for the pederasts among us... There are videos of him made when he was young. This search will locate them (among many other videos about him): https://www.google.com/search?q=Carlo+Acutis+as+a+very+young+child&client=firefox-b-e&sca_esv=f92416c7ac1eaa91&udm=7 Images of young Carlos: https://www.google.com/search?q=very+young+Carlo+Acutis+as+child&client=firefox-b-e&sca_esv=f92416c7ac1eaa91&udm=2&biw=1467&bih=707&ei=mr69aLHeAtawi-gPgIuykAI&ved=0ahUKEwixk-islMePAxVW2AIHHYCFDCIQ4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=very+young+Carlo+Acutis+as+child [@nonymouse] [Guardster] [Proxify] [Anonymisierungsdienst] |
