I randomly came across this video created & produced by Michael Taveraz. Picasso’s Girl with a Mandolin comes to life. The original is an oil on canvas, 1910. Work from this time period is considered analytical cubism because the work showed the breaking down, or analysis, of form. The different planes give the appearance of lifting up & off the canvas, rather than descending down, creating a vanishing point.

This video captures the transcendence of a traditional medium (oil painting) into a modern day medium (video). Is this still considered art? Some would argue that the viewer looses the intended experience by manipulating the vehicle by which the message is delivered. Others argue that it’s a natural evolution. Just like everything else, people, culture, art, society, etc., will continue to evolve due to emerging technologies. Either way, it’s an amazing video.
