He's certainly Rubenesque, although that's more of a Baroque painter.

The first one, as I gather, is some form of artistic reference or something. I dunno it flew over my head but it made people think Renaissance. In the second picture it follows the fallen dude's chest and rear end.

wayfinder posted:It still doesn't line up with anything, particularly when they overlaid it over the whole picture... The spiral encapsulates the scene, with basically all of the action being encircled by the largest segment of the spiral, and then as the spiral comes back in on itself it stops just as it's about to break back into the scene. It's not exact, but it's a small joke that sets up the belly spiral one.

Nah I get where he's coming from. Someone's trying to make a composition joke when it overlays the entire image, but the fact is that the golden ratio doesn't correspond to anything in the image other than the one dude's back.

theflyingorc posted:isn't the point that it just looks good to space things that way? that's the only way to apply the Golden Ratio in any way that aligns with reality, yeah, but most folks still see it as some kind of big artistic secret. It also looks good to space things a LOT of other ways. There's even evidence that other arrangements are found more aesthetically pleasing by more people on average.

It's just reminding me of the Red Letter Media review where he talked about A camera/B camera or whatever, which was genuinely applicable there, and then suddenly nerds were seeing it any time that the cameras were pointed at whoever was speaking.

I mean ultimately that's probably pretty close to how the whole thing started. Some dude probably made a really insightful observation at some point about how the GR can describe an aesthetically pleasing composition, and then tons of people took it to be a direct causal relationship until someone heard about it and popularized it as some obscure law of art.

Soulex posted:I am an Expeditor, and although many believe they are in charge of the flight line, I can assure you this is not so. The expeditor, the man behind the wheel, is the real king and the ruler of the flight line. Right now it is 0,Dark thirty, the flight line is quiet. Off in the distance a lone power unit happily mumbles to itself. It is that time when everything that can be done is done, yet the time for everything to startup once again is not upon us. There are no blue buses streaming across the ramp filled with crews and passengers, the cargo loaders have yet to begin their crawl across the flight line, their backs loaded down with equipment, parts, supplies and mail. The Fuel trucks are still waiting to go sloshing along with JP4 and lining up behind aircraft to begin feeding the hungry bellies of aircraft for their long flights across the oceans to far away lands.
