Madonna's team has tried to work this photograph to their advantage, but despite the soft sepia tones, look the psychological content of the picture itself. It is a very ambiguous moment. it is hard to tell what is going on, it almost feels like the other people were told to sit around Madonna and pose. They are expectant of something. Or waiting. It is a very weird picture.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306975664220931304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-25119458808630475322009-04-20T12:29:00.000-04:002009-04-20T12:29:00.000-04:00Stupid me.

Several hours later I had a response from the Guardian informing me that they would bring it up with Martin. By the end of the day Martin had sent me an email explaining that the article was refering to the UK but it hadn't been clearly stated.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350606554561729949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-74851396787620974932009-04-20T11:09:00.000-04:002009-04-20T11:09:00.000-04:00I agree that anything Ms Ciccone (ooh, suppose I j...I agree that anything Ms Ciccone (ooh, suppose I just dated myself with that) does is ever random. <br /><br />I find the publicity angle on this somehow not quite right.

(And Googling around, I also discover that Ernst Haas claims the first major color solo photo show, in 1962 also at MOMA...)<br /><br />Whatever. Parr's analysis of the Madonna photo is intriguing -- though Madonna might help the cause by exposing a little less cleavage.Joe Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741278269759513642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-33990290510435411932009-04-20T08:26:00.000-04:002009-04-20T08:26:00.000-04:00Wasn't Eggleston's show at MOMA important, or do t...Wasn't Eggleston's show at MOMA important, or do things in the colonies not count?coghttp://www.drivingtheflies.comnoreply@blogger.com
