Maybe Tintoretto was just not the perfect example for your topic, but a better choice could have been Caravaggio maybe By the way, I know these days many Social Web Tools coming in, but indeed consider to join Facebook.com and you could take part in discussions like the “Irony sucks” http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=150933373026&ref=mf

You're right he's willing to risk the everyday popular things, but his use of light and space were distinct and daring in comparison to Titian and Veronese - that was something I really related to. I don't believe his game is Postmodern - it is about vision rather than optics. And I do believe you're right about our relationship to the historic work, we have a hard time seeing it having been raised on Postmodern culture and electronic communications.

In fact he is very Pomo, playing a very similar game with us as Yuskavage. But maybe my eyes and brain are so compromised, that even the historic paintings changed their values to me. By the way here are some new nude paintings (some combined with mirrors) by Oleg Timchenko http://artclubcaucasus.blogspot.com/2009/10/exhibition-oleg-timchenkos-reflection.html Best regards, Hans Don’t you see and feel that big kitsch thing in Tintoretto’s painting ?

Coming to painting from a different discipline and an (somewhat) advanced age, I missed the visual irony era (although I caught it in other fields). So my desire for the effect of my work is more Tintoretto than Yuskavage, although I'm not dealing with figures. All that is to say "thank you" for providing me a space to think.
