[Leica] Common sense

[Mark Rabiner]

The statement " pretending that a camera and a paint brush " is as
meaningless of a statement you're ever going to make.
Could mean anything.

Could it mean if I apply pigment to a canvas with a brush then its art if I
expose and print an photograph its not?
How about etchings, silk screens and other  graphic printing processes?
This was a great controversy many many many years ago.
In modern times its mentioned briefly in second grade.

A lot of technical people have a real hard time with the art world
The whole concept of what art is what an artist is what a gallery should
charge is like chalk on a blackboard to them.
They don't want do see or know anything about it
But they do want to express to you their strong negative opinion on it.
"I don't know anything about your world the only thing I know is it has NO
VALUE".
