And
And here's what happens. We paint under perfect lights. Then (some of us) send our works to galleries who place them under hot spots about 3800k. Then someone buys them and you have no control or idea of how they will be hung.
This was the long view when the CAA's began discussing this 10 years ago. Perfect circumstances are for perfect worlds. Compromise is the reality. As many of you know, the galleries may never even give you the name of the buyers. Selling directly to a portrait client, you can nudge them and try to educate them-but everyone won't listen.
The bulbs also change their temperatures as they age-just like in the tanning booths. But take heart, Sargent, Whistler, Monet, Titian, Zorn, Sorolla and Vermeer did okay without these.
