Digital Imaging

Drafts for my digital imaging class. We had to read an article and make an illustration for it. The article I read was a speech given by Hitler (excerpt at the bottom of the post).
Final illustration done in Adobe Illustrator with blending done in photoshop


The article I chose is a speech written by Hitler for the inauguration of the Munich Expedition 1937 of pieces that Hitler didn't think were art. I chose two paragraphs from the speech to do base my illustration on.

"I have observed among the pictures submitted here, quite a few paintings which make one actually come to the conclusion that they eye shows things differently to certain human beings than the way they really are, that is, that there really are men who see the present population of our nation only as rotten cretins; who, on principle, see meadows blue, skies green, clouds sulphur yellow, and so on, or, as they say, experience them as such. I do not want to enter into an argument here about the question of whether the persons concerned really do or do not see or feel in such a way; but, in the name of the German people, I want to forbid these pitiful misfortunates who quite obviously suffer from an eye disease, to try vehemently to foist these products of their misinterpretation upon the age we live in, or even to wish to present them as 'Art'.

No, here there are only two possibilities: Either these so-called 'artists' really see things this way and therefore believe in what they depict; then we would have to examine their eyesight-deformation to see if it is the product of a mechanical failure or of inheritance. In the first case, these unfortunates can only be pitied; in the second case, they would be the object of great interset to the Ministry of Interior of the Reich which would then have to take up the question of whether further inheritance of such gruesome malfunctioning of the eyes cannot atleast be checked. If, on the other hand, they themselves do not believe in the reality of such impressions but try to harass the nation with this humbug for other reasons, then such an attempt falls within the jurisdiction of hte penal law."
