Smith & Wesson revolvers as ART.
I believe we can all agree that certain S&Ws are works of industrial design art. I also think they look good as 2D art as well.
I have converted 4 photos into graphic art.
Let’s see some other conversions or actual original artwork.

I've experimented a bit in this vein. Here are some "artistic" takes.

I really like the first couple "pen and ink" ones. The style floats my boat.

Also, check out Prisma. It's a phone app and can take a photo and do some amazing things!

There are many SMITHS that I feel are a thing of beauty, or work of art without artificially enhancing them, or images. Take a look at some of the fantastic photos on this forum! Bob

The theme of this thread is that BOTH are possible to be viewed as objects of beauty.
my profession for the past 44 years has been as an industrial designer and a graphic designer. Industrial photography has been the newest portion of my business for just the past 30 years, with firearms as my favorite subject and most published images.
This is one of my photos with the pencil sketch conversion.
IMO both can be viewed without having to choose between them.

Only my opinion, but I would rather look at a photo of the real thing! Maybe I am jealous because of lacking artistic ability. Bob

Sometimes even non-S&W, non-revolvers can have an artistic element.

Fascinating thread!
And a reminder that S&W's aren't limited to Performance Art!

DRYHEAT's still life of what I presume is a postwar M&P reminded me of one I took of my lettered 1943 Victory. Boyt "43" holster, silver '43 nickels, steel '43 pennies, and of course the license plate. Certainly more documentary than artistic.
Cheers,
Bob

t-b c, yes mine is a '47, so I had some 1947 coins in the original pic.
I really like the photo of your '43 Victory so I turned it into a still life pencil sketch.

Somewhere, and I can't find it, is a book with line drawings of S&W products. I bought it maybe 10 or 15 years ago. It would go good in this thread.

While I am not in favor of turning a top of the line 'tool' like a S&W revolver into an engraved piece of artwork, I do appreciate the artistic ability of the engraver. .......... I much prefer this type of S&W art. My hat is off to you that can do this sort of picture manipulation to the point that it becomes very appealing artwork. KUDOs to all of you! ........
