Macro Art

Macro Art is photography of paintings, taken at a extremely close distance. When this happens, the tiny details of the artist's craft come into focus and becomes a new piece of art in itself.Most of the photos I take here are from museums and galleries in New York City, though more can and will be added soon.If you would like to contribute a Macro Art photo, please send your photo(s) to [email protected] include the artist, title of the piece, and (if you would like to include) the location/museum/gallery it was taken.Also, if you include a photo of the whole painting, I will link it in the postTry to have the picture be as clear as possible. Blurry photos will not be used.
