Is there something wrong with this picture?
As this MFA world of ours turns
A Non-Profit Organization for the Scientific Support of Art Authentication
To get right down to it,.. vanrijngo,... while being a little bit more honest with all of you art lovers out there,... very much more so than all these others in this MFA world of ours, while saying this kind of scientific support and teem work has been squelched. You might say squished and squashed, and as some would say, put on the very back burner,.. for much later down this MFA road of authentication processes.
| The International Center for Art Intelligence Inc.,© began in 1998 at the conference "Scientific Detection of Fakery in Art" (SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering), 29-30 January 1998, San Jose, California. This symposium brought together scientists, art historians and collectors to begin to confront some of the difficult issues surrounding art authentication and fakery. There was a clear resolution among group members that an association of interested professionals could make a difference in terms of offering professional, objective, and scientifically unassailable support for art authentication. |
The MFA expertise of this world, along with the art historians, museum curators, Fine art auction houses such as Butter Field's & Butter Field's of San Fancisco, now owned by eBay, Sotheby's, Christe's along with the many more influencial names all around this MFA world of ours, have always claimed and said science is not revelent to the arts,... while now are beginning to exclaim it loudly,... there is no such need for science in the art of authenticity practices, when it come to MFA expertise, and of their own intuitive hands on MFA expertise.
The absolute biggest question in this MFA world of ours is exactly this,....
Is there something really terribly wrong with this picture?

I'm sorry, but it does make myself wonder sometimes what kind of students you are turning out and producing, and exactly for what kind of art-conservation they may be doing in the future. Especially when most the work will be dealing mainly with what is in the museums and of personal collections. I do know what art cons stands for, and it seems to me there are way more of them than meets the MFA eyes.
I thinking if you would spend about the same amount of time as you do with your students in determining what makes up art items, by teaching them how artists and their works of arts seem to connect, to preserve these findings for the future students when these things are discovered, while putting more time and emphases of the students in determining if the artists own idiosyncrasies, brush strokes, hand movements, as in hand writing analysis, and if the assumed artist's own hidden imagery is infact found, before continuing the restorations of particular art items.
These things which I'm mentioning can be found by different uses in 3d scanning techniques,..... and while using these methods to find out if infact done by the assumed artists own hand. These finding could be very important in the future in comparing to other work of art assumed done by the same certain artist in question. In doing this, you would not be wasting so much of other peoples time and money, and also your own MFA time in saving some things which is not in the least bit worth saving,.... just as the experts would say,..... when some things are found out to be fake, their value would be almost nothing.
Cheers!
