I totally agree, especially the part about the "art world" not accepting editorial photography as being worthy of being considered "art" but a copy is art. I also like his comment that Prince's work is obviously plagiarism and that the copy is breaking the Golden Rule. I attended a master class taught by Sam Abel at Santa Fe and thought at the time that he had a lot of good common sense. This article only confirmed my first impressions. I wish somebody would knock "art" critics on the head with this kind of logic. Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
