Keith,
it was more the selection of his works than the actual quality that I
find questionable. It seems easy for some people to see a couple of his
works, label him and slide him back in the drawer. I read a letter in
the archive written by Mortensen replying to a company that wanted to do
photogravures of his work, but he thought they were terrible.
The works were reproduced ok, just selected to slant him in a certain
direction. Also, once I had finally seen the originals, it is hard to
describe how beautiful many were. Any reproduction is always a
comprimise with money.
Hope this makes sense,
Curtis Fant
