The words in her hair could possibly add to the flattening, iconographic, headstone affect photographs, as well as pull quotes, add to three-dimensional figurative graphics. Whether or not I like the push pull between the sensitive paint lines and the flattening but interestingly handwritten quotes is eluding me right now. But thank you, Mr. Brown, for doing this and sharing it with us. If I think of it as poster art, yet again my response changes.<div><br></div><div>Jeannette Smyth</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On May 8, 2015, at 6:11 AM, Kristin Czarnecki wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div dir="ltr"><div id="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Good morning,<br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">I received an email and the attached images recently from David Brown, an art student in the UK.
