Definitely some fertile ground worthy of further exploration.
The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brook Atkinson- 1951
#3 a good one. those chairs were designed in the 30's (when those folks were born)

In response, I offer this shot to supplement the others:
I offer it to raise the question of which, if any, of the people in the photos are live and which are "works of art". Of course, "David" is one of the best known works of art in the world...
Thanks! It is nice that the museum does so much of the work of composing a pleasing image before one arrives with a camera...
Thanks! I did not know of Elliott Erwitt until you and B. D. agreed that he shot dogs. Now I find out via Syncopation and you that he visited museums on his downtime from Magnum and put out a book of the shots he took!
Thanks for commenting. I posted #2 to see if anyone would realize that "David" was art and not people...
Street/PJ is better with a story, but so much of photography does not have a story, especially much of what passes as "art".
Thanks, Richard! You always come to mind when I try to compose shots using the setting more than the people as the subject. A near empty museum certainly fit here...
I'm hoping I wasn't the only one thinking he was real at first.....

yes you were

It is a really well done piece.
I probably should have posted in the "People" forum so that they could have suggested better lighting and skin smoothing for this portrait...
BTW, I wasn't certain if the couple in the third shot were real or art until the guy turned his head between my first and second shots.
