X-radiograph(s) of "1) Man; 2) Woman" 

Editor: This X-radiograph of Holbein's "Man; Woman" reveals so much texture. The wood grain is really prominent. What stands out to you in this image? Curator: Notice how the X-ray unveils the materials and labor usually hidden beneath the painted surface. The wood panel's structure dictates the artwork’s very existence. It highlights art as a product of material and process, challenging our typical focus solely on the image. Editor: That's fascinating! I never considered the wood's role so directly. Curator: Exactly! The means of production become visible, prompting questions about the consumption and valuation of art. Editor: So, it makes me think about the commercial aspects of art production too. Thanks for sharing that perspective. Curator: Of course! Thinking about the materials and labor adds another rich layer to appreciating art.
