Apologies for as usual being late, but as this is about ART and not WW3, so 🙂 ?
Was Vermeer a prisoner? He only seems to inhabit one room. Posted by Dr. D.
Dr. D I get the sarcasm? – good question.
Vermeer had (modern times, here is 1900 >) a huge number of ‘copiers’ and ppl producing and selling ‘simulacras’ – ‘derivatives’ – ‘in the spirit of’ – ‘from the atelier of’’..
Read, many odd and dodgy paintings, low-level sloppy creations or pastiches purporting to be ‘attested originals’ touted in gallery publications, catalogues, by sellers, some of them outright scammers, on the internet, etc. .. a lot of hype.
The ‘Room’ look and its simple and appealing perspective became a kind of trademark stamp, that would serve to establish ‘the meme’ of Vermeer.
