I feel she has added another chapter to the post-modern photographic tradition of undermining the notion of the camera as purveyor of verisimilitude. In other words, what you see is not necessarily what you get (think Vik Muniz.) <BR/><BR/>Painting was always considered the highest form of artistic expression in the plastic arts; photography, since its invention, was hardly considered art at all. Yet, ironically, the Dutch old master painters made ample use of the camera obscura, a precursor to the modern camera, to give their paintings a "real life" look. In the modern era, painters made use of photos to also give their paintings a "real life" look (think Richard Estes, the photo realist painter.) But in both cases, the painting was the final product, revered and held above all other art forms. Now, in the post-modern era, artists such as Ms. Core are subverting the previously held belief of the primacy of painting. By having the final product be a photograph she is asserting the primacy, or at least equality, of photography with all other art forms, especially painting. And doing so by throwing a wink and a head nod to the old school "Old Master" painters that came before her. Brilliant! <BR/>Thanks for the space to let me rave, James. <BR/>Raymond A.RAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08936697848965613677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-36824581387896480882008-11-05T05:30:00.000-05:002008-11-05T05:30:00.000-05:00For russell, from scott ely: Fidelity is one of my...For russell, from scott ely: Fidelity is one of my favorite ingredients of visual laxatives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-89037797684083984822008-11-04T09:53:00.000-05:002008-11-04T09:53:00.000-05:00BEAUTIFUL. i love these.BEAUTIFUL. i love these.Joanna Goddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109285188206811042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-73666382073866083912008-11-03T13:20:00.000-05:002008-11-03T13:20:00.000-05:00Why do the critical comments always use a)"gimmick...Why do the critical comments always use a)"gimmick" and b) anonymity?<BR/><BR/>Mark me as a fan of Ms Core.Russell Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300607152857141171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-8957077800530162462008-10-31T18:19:00.000-04:002008-10-31T18:19:00.000-04:00What isn't a gimmick?

All Ms. Core is doing is some clever commercial food styling, mimicking images conceived my much greater talents. It doesn't even get close to the staging of Muniz, Wall or Crewdson. It's literally taking famous paintings and copying them using the same materials. It's a gimmick.
