ART APPROPRIATION

Original Myself as a Subject

Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer


To call Vermeer’s enigmatic young woman “unforgettable” is perhaps
misleading, as she was forgotten for centuries. Only in the 19 th century in
the age of Manet and photography was the genius of Vermeer rediscovered.

Today the eyes of this girl haunt us as she looks back in silence. Her
face has a scintillating mixture of ordinaries and beauty that conjures a
pale mystique.
