Rather early on in my art career, I took my art to high end craft shows. My booth sported one wall filled with framed 5×7″ prints. It was pretty impressive to see so many well dressed, historical-looking animals gazing at you. One day, while at a show in Connecticut, a man stopped at my booth. It wasn’t long before it was clear that he was an art historian. He began talking in great detail about the portraits as if he was looking at the originals. He elaborated on the subjects of the portraits, the artists, the time period, and significance of the art at the time. Before long, a crowd of 40 or so people had gathered for this odd lesson in history. I think it might be so that the portraits were more memorable for having been learned-about in that way.
