Widely admired for its skillful use of morphing technology to feature major works in western art, Philip Scott Johnson's"Women in Western Art" was nominated as the Most Creative Video in the 2007 YouTube Awards.

There's a complete list of the artists and paintings Johnson included in his video here. The music is Yo-Yo Ma's performance of Bach's Sarabande from his Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007. Johnson's webpage is here.

Subsequently, Johnson created"Women in Film."

Identifying all of the subjects is a challenge! The answers are here.

Both projects drew some criticism for the monolithic aesthetic sensibility implied by Johnson's selection of subjects. More recently, he has created"Men in Film," which seems to address the criticism.

The greater ethnic diversity of his subjects in this latest effort yields some interesting morphs!
