From New Yorker Magazine

“Untitled (C-1189)” (2012), by Marco Breuer
                                                                                

This photograph,
from yesterday's
on-line New Yorker,
is part of an exhibit
entitled
 

WHAT 
IS 
A 
PHOTOGRAPH?




I do not really know
the answer to that question
but I do know a good photograph
when I see one.

The next New Yorker page is here.

    First, photography supplanted painting, realer than real.
    And then came the reel.
    Then the painter fled the real.
    Now, the photographer flees the real.

      There is something extra special about
      any good photograph that looks like it
      is a painting.

    Curiosity is the gateway to art appreciation.

    Unfortunately, curiosity is for the price.

    Assuming an auction is involved.
