all true phantast. as long as we look at art in the context, period and style it was created in.

to compare modigliaris work with some of the renders put up as art is akin to comparing silk and a pigs ear. as for the inner vision of poser art. it's a rare commodity from what i've seen.  you can bet most of the good artist who create art outside the box..dali, picasso latrec, esher and of course modigliari will have learned technique and practiced  the edgeloops of painting or its equivilent. they have painted good traditional art of their period before exploring new styles. they know the rules and purposfully break them.  many of those that use poser don't know the rules and when they break them it shows.  we all know what we mean by a crap render. it has noting to do with artistic style as such. it's really about something not looking right. dalis painting look right even though they aren't.some of renasaiance artwork looks right even though it isn't. mona lisa looks right even though it bears little resemlence to the realism. depection of the golden mean in art through the modern movement (squares the get bigger to a ratio of 1.68) have nothing to do with realisim as such but have a certain perfection about them. they look right.
