Photos of World’s Famous Monuments Taken The Other Way

Take any famous monument around the world, and look up pictures of it on the Internet, or at your own albums, if you have visited the place. Don’t they all look the same? Sure, there are all sorts of angles, but the cameras are all pointed towards the landmark. But if for once, someone were to turn their backs, point their cameras away from the landmark in the opposite direction, and snapped a picture, would you be able to guess where it was taken?

Photographer Oliver Curtis has been doing this for the last four years. It started in 2012, when he was visiting the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo. Curtis turned away and looked back in the direction he had come from. What he saw fascinated him so much that he has since made a point of turning his back on some of world’s most photographed monuments and historic sites, looking at their counter-views and forgotten faces.

10 Current Famous Female Painters Around The World

10 Current Famous Female Painters Around The World

When we look at art, we never think in terms of the gender of the artist but rather at what they are trying to tell us through their art. However, if you look at the list of 10 progressive artists in the 21st century, then you cannot help wondering how many of them are men and how many women. The thing is that female painters can bring another perspective to the way they look at art and in the way creativity is expressed. The thing is creativity and the world of art is affected by the way the artist thinks and feels and we have to admit that women think differently from men and this difference can be seen in their works of art. Even when you look at the work of well known stars but unknown as artists, you will realize that there is a grain of truth in what we have said.

That is why when you are working at developing yourself and want to learn to develop the artistic instinct to have a better life, you will have to think in terms of feminine and masculine expression.

Marlene Dumas: She is a great figurative painter who while not painting from life does paint about the pains and shame that people in the modern world face. Since she is born in South Africa, her art tends to have bleak view of the world.
