Only a spectacular person like Nan Goldin would be able to transform in an originality form paintings and sculptures by bringing it to real live photography. Her focus of nude beauty is really noticeable in her exhibit, Scopohilia, as shown in the installation video presented by Matthew Marks Gallery. Golding attempt to bring the 1855 painting of Paolo and Francesca in hell by Ary Scheffer to her own version of it “Swan Like Embrace” is a unique style to demonstrate art. However, I feel that her version looks more scandalous than Scheffer painting. Yet, we cannot judge a book by its cover, because this might be her style, to show sensuality in her work.
