Phillip Scott Johnson uses 90 portraits of women from famous painters to seamlessly show their changing features as time elapsed. The morphing effect is bizarre and impressive at the same time. It's impressive not just for its stretch of time, but style, medium and interpretation as well.

Very interesting and mesmerizing.
Its a great example of the degradation of art too.
The last dozen or so were crap.
Yeah. You are unfortunately right.
I know. I’m somewhat of a photographer/artist myself.
Pretty much all art critics these days are wildly liberal and are only interested in “the message” and how liberal the artist is.
Its intentional and comes directly out of the communist goals.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
Interesting. I just thought everyone else had awful taste. :P I’ll keep that in mind next time I see some ugly, modern art.

Picasso of course was a communist.
Yes...interesting how no teeth were shown until some time in the 20th century. The “impressionist” and “modern” genre are pure untalented crap. Haven’t change my opinion of that for fifty years.
Around 1910 the art turns to crap and seldom recovers. It became insufficient to do something beautiful and accurate, as that niche had been filled for a few hundred years. To break out one had to evoke not pleasure but irritation and distaste. Sadly this was not confined to just painting.
Sadly most stuff past 1999 seems to consists of images of female’s crotches.
Mainly because people had photography, and women had makeup. They no longer needed a painter to make them look good for what they charged. Artists were now forced to look for new ways to get eyeballs (and cash) and produced the first examples of “clickbait” like the Dada and Fauvism. Whatever got them in the door.
I will admit I do have a soft spot for the Vienna Secession though.
I had to google that. It looks like a mashup of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, both of which I like in their own manner, but not, it seems, as a blend.
by German painter Denner Balthasar (15 November 1685 - 14 April 1749)
More works by this terrific artist...
“Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
Pretty much the counter-theme in Ayn Rand’s ‘The Fountain Head’...

in “classical” music the same thing happen. it went atonal so pretty much every thing in the past 60 years is crap. the great composers of the late 20th century wrote movie scores.
Beautiful. Just a rather abrupt, sort of sad changing towards the end. Thanks for posting it.
