Also the Magic Lantern was developed during the 16th Century by the Chinese .. was popular in the Victorian era. Look at music too ... 'styles' can last for many years: Rock, Punk, Folk, Heavy Metal, Boy Bands, etc. Painters throughout the years copied each other's brush strokes.
This style still gives me enjoyment and lots of other people, including my granddaughter who is studying this in a modern environment and commented that it was good and made her laugh.  x |
Made me laugh too, but I suspect for entirely the wrong reasons.
Sure, it isn't new, innovative, and isn't going to win any prizes for artistic merit.
Perhaps that's the subliminal message we are supposed to be getting about Accrington.
As stated, the animation didn't add to the interviews. It just masked the people, who I genuinely would have prefered to see. My opinion.
Some people like it. Others didn't.
That's life.
Happily my skin is thick enough, and my vocabulary wide enough, to defend myself, as a result of many years of my work being criticqued by others.
If publicly funded art isn't to have it's merits discussed, it should be kept in the dark, in a portfolio under the bed.
That's reality.
