I really appreciate Saul's last posting -- because it was so much more ambitious and interesting than anything else that's been offered here for a long time.
And the more I read it - the more questions I have. For example, Saul wrote: "Edgar Degas' by allowing the framing edge to cut through a figure as a way to challenge the traditional conception of the painted image as a self-contained whole also has its origins in photography as does his use of extreme angles and compressed space." Could someone point me toward a mid-19th Century photographer who was allowing the "framing edge to cut through a figure" ? I'm also wondering what would be examples of "extreme angles and compressed space" -- both in Degas and the photography that he might have seen. ____________________________________________________________ Love Graphic Design?
