Sun Reflections


Gustave le Gray, 1856

If memory serves me correctly I first came across le Gray's work at the V & A, and fell in love instantly...How to make a cliche image stand apart from those soulless holiday snaps that always fail to recreate and capture the expanse of space, the beauty of a moment forever lost - see the sea landscapes of le Gray .A testament to overcoming the postcard tainted image rendering a nostalgic and painterly tone to moments meant to take and retake one's breath away....
