It ain't over till it's over.
I suspect he didn't not play when he was supposed to.
Sorry, I was thinking more of Shrödinger. Of course there’s always the question of who observes any deity.

I agree with you. Similarly, art is like sound. If no one sees the photograph, then there's no art. All you have is a picture, which makes the producer a photographer, not an artist.
Ahhhh...yes, and also gone will be words...so no one to sound off. Just the vibrations from trees falling in the woods, waves crashing onto shores, etc..
Words are the art of sound.
If no one sees the photograph, does it even exist?
They are still in a box in my closet
More the art of the mind...which the Greeks found superior to the arts of the hand.
I wonder, would the Greeks (ancient, not @nikos79
) have considered an Arbus photo art of the hand or of the mind?I wonder, would the Greeks (ancient, not @nikos79
I am not sure about Arbus, possibly they would find inspiration to write some tragedies in these portraits. But for sure they would appreciate the geometry of Henri-Cartier Bresson.
Photography has very close bounds with reality.
Aristotle would love it.
Plato probably not unless it transcended the reality to reveal the hidden truth behind.
Would photographs be allowed in the Republic?
Only if you shot transparencies and used a projector to show them on the wall of the cave.
It's ironic how much of this allegory still applies in modern times as we voluntarily enslave ourselves to social media and the acquisition of things:

Poetry is the art of prose.
There was a young man from Kent
That carried his kit as he went
Making art as he strode
Along every road
Growling, "This 8x10 makes me most bent"

THAT is poetry and arte' at the highest level...
There once was a girl from Nantucket,
I've never actually heard the rest of this one

I’m back from my NYC trip and I have to report that I passed on the Arbus show. There was just too much competition from other shows and she didn’t make the cut. Maybe next time. Has anyone here walked the Arbus show yet?
Only the one in L.A. But as far as drawing criticism, the L.A. show is accompanied by a 500-page book of collected articles and criticism of Arbus' work. From Sontag to ardent supporters, an interesting read on contemporary and more current reactions to her post-mortem exhibitions and books.
Nice.
