finished pleased realize result thousands work
He wouldn't have been pleased to see us surveying his working drawings. Michelangelo just wanted you to look at his finished work and be overwhelmed by it and not realize that it's the result of thousands of decisions.
chapel hated understand
Michelangelo would have hated this exhibition. He wouldn't have wanted us to understand how he worked. He wanted us to go into the Sistine chapel and be amazed.
pleased
He wouldn't have been pleased to see us surveying his working drawings.
artists
He thought other artists were like him, who could see something in another artist and take it.
anybody drawings effort people
He was working unbelievably hard...but he didn't want anybody to know that. He didn't want people to know how much effort went into his art, but that is what the drawings show.
life
I wanted to tell his life through his drawings.
artistic changes core elements remained
Through the exhibit, you can see changes in Michelangelo as a man, and some of the core artistic elements that remained stable.
