Exhibit Essay #2 (Baroque)

      I am a Fine Art major and my primary focus is painting and my secondary focus is sculpture.  So obviously I had to go to the Baroque exhibit at the Nevada Museum of Art.  The exhibit was incredible with a small collection of paintings that honestly said it all about the era of Baroque; however, I wish fancy King Loui was there showing that amazing leg. 
         The exhibit consisted of a collection of about 15 or so paintings. Each any everyone where so intricate in detail and absolutely beautiful.  The hands were nearly perfect, as if photographs.  The volume and color of the hair were so well done that it looked so realistic, almost like you can feel the softness and smell the hair.  I could not believe it and I secretly filled up with envy and hope that one day I may be able to paint the perfect hair and hands. 
         The paintings were so live like that it almost looked digitally made. Very similar to a character made on Photoshop.  The skin was so smooth and the appearance of actual flesh.  Which is what many digital artists try to succeed in when they make their characters or edit a photo. I loved the exhibit and may go back a second time, and highly recommend to anyone to lay their eyes on the luscious hair.
