A. John Szarkowski means that photographers take pictures that make viewers look at art differently. They don't do plain, simple artwork that was usual during their time. Instead, they use different, 'out of context' techniques that put a whole new perspective on art.
Q. The frame often ‘dissects familiar forms’. At the end of the last century photography was having a major impact on Art. Impressionist artists such as Degas were influenced by what they saw. Look at these examples of Degas work, which clearly shows the influence of Photography, and explain why the public might have been shocked to see such paintings.
A. Photography was a whole new type of art during Degas time. It was a lot different from typical painting artwork, because it actually captured moments in time. Photographers would also use different techniques than other artists. They try to move the viewers eyes around the picture, and don't always center their main subject.
IMPORTANT: Find another example of a painting that you feel was influenced by photography and include it in you're posting!
This painting was greatly influenced by photography because the painter made the subject look off guard as if he took a picture at the right moment.
(By Caravaggio)
