Academy of Leuven



Last stop on my "end of year exhibitions trip" was the Academy of Leuven. 
Although the photography section usually get most of my attention, I had the privilege of taking a picture of Jan Smets (photo 1) who stands in front of Michael Jackson, his interpretation of the assignment 'tragedies'.
The umbrella man in the second picture was probably just on his way out, into the rain again, when he ran into friends.  I do not think he was part of the show.

  14. I like his interpretation! Michael Jackson was indeed a tragedy.

    My favourite photo of these is the second one with the lady in the red jacket and the man in the blue shirt next to her. I like how the rest of the photo is relatively monochrome.
