This very simple article on msn is an interesting read because not only does
it touch on art after 9/11 and postmodernism, it also comments on a
discussion this list is having about uninspired photos and how just because
it’s big, bold and beautiful doesn’t mean it has substance as high art.
Quote from the article:
"Most of the efforts were brimming with sincerity, such as Joe McNally’s
Faces of Ground Zero-life-size Polaroid portraits of rescue workers and
survivors. Their size was impressive and they probably touched thousands of
people, but as artworks they lacked intellectual and creative depth. While
these immediate responses tugged at heartstrings, they seemed unimaginative
and opportunistic."
