Bosch Reconstructed

In Bosch Reconstructed, the artist and poet Paul takes eight works by Hieronymus Bosch (Ascent of the Blessed, Christ Crowned with Thorns, The Extraction of the Stone of Madness, the three panels of The Garden of Earthly Delights, The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things, and The Temptation of St. Anthony) and abstracts them through pixelation to reveal average color distributions over given areas of the image, from the entirety of the painting as one solid color to a "full resolution" image of the painting. Through these eleven stages of resolution, attention is called to the question of "what constitutes adequate reproduction?"

In its manifold aspects, Bosch Reconstructed can be viewed variously as a color study, as an examination of graphic reproduction, and as a work of visual poetry.

Bosch Reconstructed is part of the Reconstructed series of art books (Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Monet, Renoir, C zanne, Van Gogh, and Rousseau).
