Description

Introducing ‘Eye for Detail’, an original still life painting by David Isbester. This 8″x 8″ Oil on Belgian linen panel painting features an antique camera sitting on a tripod. The painting of the camera takes us back in time and reminds how much life has changed. In their day, this little camera was the state of the art in technology. It enabled the ordinary person to take a picture in great detail. Replacing the illustrator and painter. However we all know that picture making has evolve since then and a camera like this would be considered a dinosaur. The painting, ironically, records and eludes to a simpler and more stylish times. An interesting object from our past which makes one wonder what images and details were captured by this beautiful machine.
