Saw the documentary which was enlightening, whether or not Vermeer actually produced his works like this, doesn't do it less good. An artist is still an artist, no matter which tools he uses (of course, printing a photograph with a 3d-printer to get some relief i still a 3d-printed photograph, reproducing it by hand however is still a wholly diff thing, and if you can see how much time "Tim" spent on his Vermeer, you can only applaud the fact that he persisted in his try to copy one of the greater works in history).Nice docu and a fun way to get acquainted with some artsy work. In the end, "photorealists" are just that, "photorealists" who like to get as close to the real deal as they possibly can, whatever means necessary. (what or what isn't "photograph" is not up to discussion here at all)
