more than a detail

[DaSwede]

What's the conventional term used to say "I've cropped the image of this painting, but only slightly"?

Here's an example:

1) The Mona Lisa

2) The Mona Lisa (detail)

3) ...but how do I describe this kind of cut?

I can think of ways to say it, but my question is What would be the conventional term used in the art world. How would they phrase it in a catalogue from an exhibition.

Thanks!

That's sad, Robinia. I had one of her paintings on a postcard when I was very young and I still think she's funny, like Botero but with a warmer heart.

When you do have a go at African Dance, Jude, don't forget we want piccies!

ignores football bulletin

[netibiza]

Someone else playing with Robi!!

[jno]

oh, so she has... I was a fan of her paintings - like Vettriano only people looked more cheerful...

[Jude123]

We did have some laughs from her didn't we Robi and who's to say we wont have some more. I saw her interviewed and she said she couldn't paint sad things she just saw people enjoying themselves and that's what she painted.

The football isn't up to much is it Vinny I've been watching recorded tennis in between football and reading the latest posts on here.

I'm off now see you tomorrow hoping for better weather :o)

Evening morphs ..how sad to see Beryl Cook has died ..I liked her paintings . One of my favourites was Ladies who Lunch . I love those two old girls in their fancy togs and hats eating fish and chips out of the paper .She turned out a tremendous amount of stuff .
I have had a lovely day .I saw Julian

The cathedral is wonderful and we had lunch in the Refrectory .
Bought a handbag and some clothes .Lovely day .
I couldn't find any plumblecots though They must have had a run on them .The weather was Ok ..dull but at least it didn't rain .
We had a terrific thunderstorm here around 4am this morning .The rain came down so hard and deep joy ....it came through the sodding roof again ! Not as bad as last time though so we shall have to get the man to come back and have a look .I suppose it's dislodged a tile somewhere.
Hope you are all OK .My pins are killing me so I am going to have a breeze round and go to bed soon . See you later xx

[Robinia]

yep, I daresay we'll be posting Beryl's pics for as long as we're on here...you were lucky to see her interviewed Jude, I don't think she liked being in the public eye.

Lovely pics shaney, I love the way you casually said 'bought a new handbag' ...haha...we didn't doubt that you would.

[woofgang]

I'm rather fond of Dame Julian....she's the one who said
"Sin is behovely but all will be well and all will be well and all manner of things will be well"
which along with
"In the end it will all be fine....if its not fine, its not the end"

and
" the truth will make you free but first it will p*** you off"

have got me through some difficult times

not sure who said the second two.

[VINNY100_2]

[Jude123]

Thought I was well off this week but my heater has gone in my car so that's about �150 to pay my car man. did I tell you I had a car man as well Lol!!

Out with Tbag for evening meal so no cooking for me today. Better do a bit of cleaning I suppose though.

George Clooney - No thanks - not my cup of tea either Robi

[Robinia]

...<that sproutman's being very cheeky today, hahaha ....I don't know why I'm laughing)>

...I should warn you Vincent that despite my lack of weight & muscle I used to throw a mean javelin (I had plenty of practise lobbing boulders at the lad next door but two) - think yerself lucky, if Jude wasn't standing in between us doing a roll call of all her men, you'd have seen this clothes prop heading your way....

anyway, lovely job done, lovely guy, lovely price....I'm a happy stick....mmmm, what's next?....a decorator....

I've got a few sayings myself, most of them unrepeatable on here, but I've always liked
"People won't remember what you said, people won't remember what you did, but people will always remember how you made them feel".

maybe not entirely true, we do remember some things that people have said & done...(unless your name's neti, heee....<ducks>...)...but you never forget how they made you feel do you?

[netibiza]

No don't like George Clooney or Brad Pitt - ghastly!
