Women in Art 500 years of female portraits in Western art condensed in a three minute morphing video.

Is that the one that features only one female artist (Mary Cassatt, if memory serves)?

Heh. Not unless she was alive for 500 years.
*teasing*

That's downright hypnotic. Wow.

Dang, lawn, you beat me to it by thismuch! I think this is a great video.

Cassatt's a vampire from outer space. She lived for 500 years and was responsible for every major movement in the history of Western painting. Maybe I should've posted this in the things-you-only-found-out-recently thread.

Starting at 1:32, I love the next 8 or 10 paintings. Can anyone tell me what period this is, or who some of the painters are?

From a bit later, I also love this one:

I believe there's a list of artists here.

That must have taken just short of forever to do. I wish it were available in a higher res.

Agrop: Nope, I have no idea. I wish I did though.

King of P: Check Ifilm.com, I saw it there (well, on popurls) today after I found it on devilducky.com and posted it. Their copy may be better.

Box: At least my time stamp here and on vox are well before that blue post.

I take that back. I saw only the time stamp and missed the date. I hate that. I don't pay any attention to metafilter, seems that everything that makes it to the blue I have already seen on popurls.
