Vidjeli smo već na ovome blogu verziju filma Ptice iz koje su izbačene sve ptice. Ima još takvih varijacija a u ovoj mađarski slikar briše ljude iz slika klasičnih majstora. Kaže da su mu smetali, nije mogao dobro vidjeti arhitekturu.
Posljednja večera bez ljudi naročito ima smisla, jer ako se zaista radilo o posljednjoj večeri, važno je ono što je preostalo nakon nje - tanjuri, ostaci hrane, prostor, arhitektura, anorganske strukture. Jezovita istina: ljudi su samo McGuffin.
"...hello?" Hajdu Bence takes famous paintings and removes all the characters
Okay so this has probably been done before, but as well as this? I
don’t know. At first these paintings can give you a spooked-out kind of 28 Days Later
vibe, but then when you look at them again you realise that this is
pretty hilarious. What could possibly have been so important that all
the disciples had to flee the room? Have all the sailors selling their
wares just drowned? Potential sacrilege to some, the simple (in fact
quite technical) act of removing the characters from these famous
paintings opens the door to all kinds of new stories! Thank you, Hadju
Bence, for creating these and setting them free on the good ship
internet for all to witness.

As humans we are so drawn to life that sometimes we overlook the beauty behind it. New media artist Hadju Bence has put a new twist on classic paintings by removing the people to showcase the architecture behind them. It’s fascinating how unrecognizable some of the famous paintings become without the subjects there to give them emotion. It all started when Bence was given an assignment in a geometry class at The University of Fine Arts in Hungary to “find and draw the perspective and horizon lines of renaissance.” He removed the people so that he could “examine how the painter really created the perspective space and how it actually looks.”- by
hungarian new-media artist bence hajdu has re-imagined well-known paintings such as claude lorrain's 'seaport with the embarkation of
st. ursula' by erasing people and characters so that only the artwork's architecture remains. the work is an outcome of hajdu's interest
in examining the pure drawn perspectives of the classic paintings, revealing an unusual atmosphere only becoming palpable after removing the figures.
hajdu says of the work:
'I am a student at the university of fine arts, hungary. at one of the descriptive geometry classes we had a task to find and draw the
perspective and horizon lines of renaissance and other pictures with significant perspective space. I thought it is not that interesting
to just draw lines, so I decided to erase all the characters from them and examine how the painter really created the perspective space
and how it actually looks. I saw this could be something exciting and continued thinking and working on it. after a while I found myself interested in the new
atmosphere and the new thoughts the retouched pieces generated without their main subjects.'
when comparing the re-interpreted jacques louis david's 'oath of the horatii' with the original, the spirit of the artwork is completely transformed -
removing the tension and chaos of battle leaves a scene much more still, tranquil and even bleak.
the audience is left with a new perspective and understanding of the artwork only attained through hajdu's depiction,
shifting the once entrenched energy of the famous artworks. - www.designboom.com
