Art

Most men in the field wrongly could not conceive of photography as art. The photography department of the newly and enlarged Museum of Modern Art have addressed themselves in their inaugural show. Photography is utterly foreign to the atmosphere of the Modern's assertive and mutually opposing galleries. Photography's chief characteristic is its malleability, the way it can suggest any meaning, or none at all. Contemporary painting, in constantly extending its boundaries to include presences that don't look like art, charged by the contradiction that what it presents is simultaneously vicarious and extremely graphic.
