Felix de la Concha Museum : New England Paintings : Panorama on Lyme in Four Frontal Perspectives

Panorama on Lyme in Four Frontal Perspectives, Artist's Statement

Félix de la Concha

Perspective has its limitations, and before I become disenchanted, I like to play with it. This composition is a clear example of this process. When undertaking to paint a broad horizon, there are inevitably problems with aberrations. I am not going to write a treatise on perspective; I prefer to “paint it”. As for the curious spectator, I advise him to pay attention to the distinct manner, in which I painted the themes that keep repeating in the outer parts of each composition. And which compare two ways of painting the same thing. I must explain that I painted it all from the same point of view, my seat always being in the same place.

One of the perks of membership is that you get to read and post comments on objects, museums, and other member's walls.

Comments aren't exactly secret (almost anybody can register!) but they aren't totally public either - they aren't indexed by searched engines and the user agreement says you can't publish them elsewhere without their author's permission.

(And some users have chosen to restrict access to their personal walls - in which case you'll have to friend them before you can post to their wall.)

Please don't feel excluded. It doesn't cost anything to register. Just sign up and you'll be an insider in no time flat.
