Activity 2
Q. What does John Szarkowski mean when he says that photographers are quoting ‘out of context’ when they make photographic pictures?

Q. The frame often ‘dissects familiar forms’. At the end of the last century photography was having a major impact on Art. Impressionist artists such as Degas were influenced by what they saw. Look at these examples of Degas work, which clearly shows the influence of Photography, and explain why the public might have been shocked to see such paintings.

Question 1
John Szarkowski was trying to explain what can you leave out or put in the picture. Also what will you make the picture mean inside the frame.

Question 2

The public was shocked to see these painting because these were not the average pictures people took. One painting to say is the one with the woman naked. The people were use to seeing people in clothes, but to see them without was shocking.
