Sofobomo - The Second Book - Painter

2009-06-16 01:00:00

This lovely gentleman is a painter and also a professor of descriptive geometry. His paintings become 3 dimensional when looking at them with special glasses. It's a real pity I can't show it here...

This portrait is also featured in my second SOFOBOMO book.

• great description of a brilliant man shown here. nice commentary.

• I beleive there is a distinct correlation between mathematics and art. All the Master painters understood this, through their use of proportion and scale to using converging lines and forced perspective. We shutterbugs, still rely on these understandings and add to them. Exposure ratios, compensations and a myriad of others. Certainly his mathematical knowledge applied to his art should entitle him as a Modern Master.
  How fortunate that you got to meet him, and a handsome portrait Istvanffy!

• Me gusta este retrato por su sencillez, y por los sentimientos que desprende el rostro de este hombre, buen trabajo.
  Saludos.

• Hello Zoltan,
  Nice to come back for a while, but I prefer taking picture than blogging in summer ;)
  I never heard about SOFOBOMO ;)
  The gold number is coming from geometry, 0.62.....
  The third of the frame is 0,666 (or 0.333).
  Very nice portrait, his eyes are very alive

• His expression is a curiosity...he's definitely got something on his mind. I like your framing in this straight ahead photo...congrats!

• great portrait. It sounds difficult to paint three dimensional images. He looks a little bit shiy... as he liks to paint but not to be in front of a cam. Greets, SePp

• Another great portrait.
  Good of you to have included some of his paintings in the background :-)

• A fine portrait of this artist. I dug out my blue and red glasses and sure enough the pictures appeared in 3d - a treat! Nice shooting.

• Perfect portrait.

• Love how you've photographed him with his 'life's work' as his backdrop. Such a full and perfect story.

• very fine ... it's interesting to see the artist together with its works.

• really nice. descriptive geometry, huh? that's a new term for me.
  Otto K. @ 2009-06-16 20:27:12
• Really nice portrait. I like how you have his art behind him!
  Andy @ 2009-06-16 22:53:04
• I was going to say what a nice old gentleman when I saw you had described it that way:-)

• You are very creative! I had to withdraw my book due to ill health but I will try again next year. Great portrait.

• Here the paintings somehow helps bring out the character of the man, very nice!
  Claus Petersen @ 2009-06-17 17:13:59
• I like how the lines of his suit combine with the geometric figures of his paintings. Nice work!
