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!

speaking of which I'm off to make myself look fabulous....I may be gone for some time....

[DaSwede]

Afternoon again, dawgs. jno, are you a natural vampire or are you compelled to work nights?

Never seen Mark Gungor before, Vinny. There's a lesson in timing - I actually screamed with anticipation as he was slowly walking over to the female brain! And I definitely have an everything-box, ha ha ha! Bill Bailey I've seen on teve in a show called something with "troll"; I liked him a lot and searched YouTube afterwards for something he did involving... er... a spider speaking in Russian?Never did find it, if any of you know what I'm talking about please post it.

Was that a photo of your garden, Robi (the Nero Photosnap flowers) ? Beautiful. Will you be doing manicure today; if so, perhaps you could rescue Neti, she's been trying to shampoo the carpets herself again - and she set George in the wrong mode again. hang on, Neti Robinia's gonna prick your bubble!

Long time no Woofy? Me and my sister were talking about Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer, I was describing one particular YouTube clip to her and as I was talking about the dog in question I heard myself calling it the other dog: "...and then the other dog backed away from the bone, and..." - as if Cesar himself were a dog!

[DaSwede]

In heaven's name stop it Neti, your husband's only been gone a couple of days!

[netibiza]

Hahaha - that made me laugh out loud!!!

[shaneystar2]

Evening all
Hurls a dumpling at Jno ..
Hope you are all well.It's freezing here and we have got the heating on !
Piddling down with rain all morning and then an exciting trip on the free bus to Morrisons ..oooh it's all happening here y'know ....I can't move for the excitement of it all ....
Failing that and my visit to the doctor for the results of my foot and leg and my irritable insides I have nothing to report except that I have got to wear a supoort on my blasted leg .
What happened to that woman in Robinias picture ?
Forty years of gin and fags I think ....hahaha...

May as well have a large gin and bggr off to bed with Lee Child .....where is the sun ... Sob sob sob

[DaSwede]

Oh don't go to bed Shaney, this is the time of the night when jno begins to feel a dance coming on and she's gotta have someone to dance with you know. I'll play you both something slow, something that your leg will approve of, poor old Shaney.

feel the beat

(good innit!)

[Robinia]

[jno]

[DaSwede]

That secret garden picture looks positively Japanese, Robinia. I want Nero Photosnap tooooooooo!! I doooo!

Great movie, that! Time for a typically Swedish commercial break

...and some ole swedish soul (from the late eighties)

[Robinia]

[DaSwede]
