Women in ...eggman

The art of morphing has come a long way since the day of screensavers on our families’ first computers. Undoubtedly you saw Women in Art, the previous animation or video art by Philip Scott Johnson(eggman913).

The discussion sparked by Johnson’s work continues even 10 months later. The videos are posted on countless blogs and web sites. New occasion - it's new video by this artist. It is devoted female beauty. The first video features 90 paintings; the second runs the gambit of 75 women in 80 years of film, from Mary Pickford to Halle Berry. The two videos show us there is something more to beauty than the eye of the beholder. Certainly they shed new light on studies which link attractiveness to symmetry in the face -–but  we can’t escape that Johnson captures in fewer than six minutes.
