The working title CUT AND PASTE is based on J.F. Willumsen’s description of the technique of El Greco. In his book on the Greek artist, Willumsen describes him as “cutting up and piecing together like a child,” pointing towards a reinterpretation of El Greco in the light of modern technology and the borrowing and transformation of elements from disparate contexts through sampling and cut-and-paste techniques. The project thereby links to contemporary issues of the image, as well as challenging our understanding of Nordic art during the period under study.
