“But to go beyond that, to the point where they are lurid, like a National Flag, is at best art, and not necessarily even good art.”
Wonder what the critics & art community thought of Picasso, Van Gogh, Hockney & Pollock when they first appeared on the scene?
Imo we’re not bound by science when creating our images.
Respect it by all means but the outcome & process depends on one’s intent.
Ie:are we using and interpreting the AP medium to create pretty pictures/ dynamic images or attempting to generate a scientifically accurate record?
Each to their own I guess.
I would be very interested to hear Dr. Malin’s take on this
