Monday morning lecture from Dr. Simon Bell. This lecture was entitled 'Bewick, Stone and Breakfast at Tiffany's: the return of the true urban cowboy. In this lecture we learnt about the difference between urban and rural. We alsolooked at the artists 'Thomas Beswick' and 'Reynolds Stone'. Here are the notes i gathered.
- You need a honest design
- We then listened to Breakfast at Tiffany's music
- Thomas Beswick (1753_1828)
- Sympathetic work, incredible detail, maybe dishonest work (could have made the scenery up) manipulating the viewers in believing its true
- External accuracy
- Reynolds Stone (1900-1979)
- Worked to the frame
- Beautiful
- How the view really looked to him
We then watched the first 15 minutes of Breakfast at Tiffany's.
- 1961, 3 to 4 years before pyschedelic
- She didnt eat very elegantly
- Out all night but the cat was in (should be other way around)
