Background: I bought Bill Fortney's "Great Photography Workshop" book a
while back. In the book, Bill recommended another one called "Developing
The Creative Edge in Photography" by Bert Eifer. That book contains
some interesting (to me at least) thoughts on what makes a photograph
'art.' These definitions are compiled by Mr. Eifer and are not
necessarily his. These are some of the definitions:
art pleases the eye
art brings order to chaos - it creates harmony
art clarifies, intensifies or enlarges our experience of life
art has mystery, ambiguity and contradiction
I'm interested in hearing the thoughts of the group on these
definitions. Do you disagree with any of them?
