madNbad - Atkenson was first in the genre of big coffee table books, slightly ahead of even the Muench clan. More the scenic or postcardy genre, and basically all classic ole Ektachrome 64 4X5 work. My older brother sometimes traveled with Emil Muench to locations; but neither he nor I was ever influenced by that genre, and both of us gravitated more toward Eliot Porter as a role model instead.
Both my parents were from pioneering Oregon families. My great grandmother was the first woman to climb Mt Hood, and my great grandfather pioneered the side of Tillamook Bay soon after the Civil War where the cheese factory is. I owned the oldest cemetery in Oregon for awhile, until I deeded it over to a nephew; the State maintains it as a historical site. And the State historical printing press and society is housed in my Grandfather's and Great Grandfather's grist mill, where my mother grew up.
The human race grew up on creating images of what we could not see.You mean that isn’t real?
Every seen a Hieronomus Bosch painting?
I think we should all chip in and send Alan to visit the Sistine ChapelOr most religious art?
Pieter12 and Rollie, thanks for that. Of course there were painting of mythical subject matter. I was thinking more in terms of “straight” painting of people and landscapes that viewers would take as “rea” representations.
BTW, Bosch is one of my favorites.
Good to know. But I do most of my YT watching streamed from a Roku to a TV so that's not an option. I am thinking about paying the no-commercial fee to YT because I seem to spend more time watching videos there than anywhere else. Netflix goes mostly unused in my household so I might just cancel that and pay YT instead.

Actually, we should all visit the Sistine Chapel - whether we are religious or not, irrespective of faith.
I was projecting ~my 45 year old slides taken there just last month.
Does the paying of no commercial fee also eliminate them on feature movies?
Photography seems dead...
YOu can go online and see so many videos on how to do things with photoshop or light room..
Like say how to take a photo of a person in swim trunks, a photo of a suite, and turn into into a photo of a person in swim trunks wearing a suite jacket..
Its one of those things that raises issues when that "professional photographers of america" education package and certification test is nothing but light set ups and digital editing
No they weren't painted by Michaelangelo. Maybe his brother.
Similar to Jeff Wall - which means that his work can be powerful, evocative, thought provoking, beautiful and soul stirring.
Wall's "After Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison - the Prologue."

Or perhaps "Untangling"

Yes, these are re-enactments. They are also wall size - most likely Cibachromes.
Are they "straight"?
I've stayed out of this discussion, because it is a subject that is so central to my preoccupations that I don't want to lose myself in longwinded dialogues here. But two observations:
1. I find it interesting that before the Great Yellow Father put cameras in every household, drawing was considered a basic skill, not an art refined by a relative few. Everybody drew. It was the only way to record images. Computers and smartphones have marginalized handwriting in the same ways that cameras marginalized drawing.
2. That said, painters often took license with "what was in front of them" for many centuries before the Impressionists arrived. I don't think Hieronymus Bosch visited the musician's hell before painting The Garden of Earthly Delights. More prosaically, portraitists routinely flattered their sitters over the centuries. Or, in the case of our man Sargent, passed off his male infatuation, Albert de Belleroche, as his famous Madame X in a prototrans moment in art history.

I prefer to believe that the Garden of Earthly Delights does in fact exist. Whether Mr. Bosch's representation is "real" begs an epistemological inquiry. ;-)
“Straight Photography” has always been an illusion.
It is not a question of whether or not something can be passed off as straight photography, it is a question of honesty, which you should know something about. Oh and size does not matter with honesty.
For heavens sake, koraks - Alan was referring to a stage set faux mural, not the Sistine Chapel itself. Wanna see grand scale faux? - visit the Venetian casino in Las Vegas - true wallpaper masterpieces, seamless. I hate casinos, but did have to go to business conventions there. And Vegas is to certain categories of skilled craftsmen what Hearst Castle once was, only with disposability in mind. After all, it is faux and Vegas, and not the Vatican. Hard to say who spent more money - Bugsy and his successors, or Pope Leo X and his - actually, it was the latter category. Many of the pigments Michelangelo used were more expensive per weight than gold, and a lot more toxic too!
