At the Haags Gemeentemuseum I saw these marvelous RGB patterns made by the American artist Sol Lewitt.

I matched the color correction and did a little bit of exposure compensation. They are at the opposite each other in the hall.

Enjoy

Just for fun I have converted the pictures in BW using my new C1 vs 6.1:

this has sliders to set the saturation for RGB values. I manipulated until I got a strong image worthy of the museum that also has so many works of M.C. Escher.

What do you like as a setting for BW conversion?

Hi Prunelle,

I follow you - it is a stronger image this way.

(even if the BW conversion is not a standard job)

Though of course the colored original is the way the work of art 'is supposed to be'.

I wouldn't dare to publish the BW in a catalogue.:rolleyes:

Oh dear, they look far better in b&w! :)

 

Yes, agreed, in colour they were at first flat but then in B6w the shapes jumped out. When I go back to the colour I can see the shapes but the b&w images are stronger.
