Bob Frishman

Clocks in Art

 

During the past several years, Bob has been collecting fine art images which have a clock somewhere in the picture.    From Van Gogh to Dali, Homer, Magritte, Hopper and Rockwell, these artworks often are familiar to art lovers but have not often been joined together in this way.  Digital images of more than one hundred paintings from more than five centuries are projected and described in a fun "spot the clock" art tour.
