Buy the postcard, then go and find the original
“You think you already know the famous painting from a hundred reproductions. Standing in front of it with the postcard in your hand, you find out you never really saw it.”
The Recipe
- In the nearest museum or gallery with a shop, buy a postcard of a work you can tell is in the collection.
- Go and find the actual work on the walls.
- Name three things the postcard gets wrong: the size, a colour, the surface, what your eye does first.
