Faceless Mona Lisa

Faceless Mona Lisa

I wamted to play off of themes from How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci.  I know Donnie mentioned one day during class how he tried to look at other parts of the famous painting and noticed the scenery.  I wanted to use the subtraction method to see if the face of Mona Lisa was removed, if you could still appreciate the painting and the feelings it generally envokes.  Usually when you think of Mona Lisa, you think of the face and the expression.  When it is removed, I noticed the folds in the fabric, the folding of her hands, and the road in the background.
