We as artists, and human beings ...Very interesting. We as artists, and human beings in general, are dealing with some new developments nowadays, some aspects of which could be frightening. But hasn't it always been so? What a game-changer photography was, with its ability to quickly capture an image in many ways beyond what even the most practiced and intelligent artist could achieve. But art is by humans, for humans, so it must communicate something that is of interest to us, for it to have value as art. We must keep that in mind, so that we can use whatever new developments that come along as tools, and expand upon them, without foolishly losing our individuality and our humanity.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029954821005889774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-48498632584844586112018-06-20T11:22:58.088-04:002018-06-20T11:22:58.088-04:00So fascinating!!! and thanks for the list of books...So fascinating!!! and thanks for the list of books on the subject as well. I paint from photos often and feel like less of an artist --but photos have helped me to keep painting when otherwise I would(and could not) not have been able to paint. I guess in the end it all depends on the skill and vision of the artist :) Meera Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578893085543656099noreply@blogger.com
