The question for the "Miller test" is: "which of the following are not photographs or exact copies of same?" (in response to a set of both paintings and photographs)
Can anyone think of a single painting that you might have mistaken for a photograph or photograph copy? If the test included examples of Karsh photo portraits -- would anyone here be inclined to identify them as paintings? I would hope not -- but then, one never knows. There are, of course, many photographers who have tried to make their work look like paintings -- and that would make for a difficult choice. Even more difficult would be those painters who try to make their paintings look like photographs (even if they are not copies of them. But I'm guessing (or maybe just hoping) that some testees will score 100% -- and even they don't -- the range of scores should indicate a certain kind of perceptual ability - a kind which I think should distinguish who runs an art museum from who runs a bank. (Other questions -- like "which photo portrait is as expressive as a painted one" might be more fun to contemplate, but there would be greater controversy concerning whether the answer was wrong.) ____________________________________________________________ Click for VA loan resources and rate quotes. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/PnY6rc1lIIj9dvnesgnBloo39CA0pv CEqyWbohFXw0WilZDxrNYry/
