Hello Eric, I never claimed to have experience with the art world in any
post past or present.
I claim to have been trained in a school which considers photography an art.
This I am sure encompasses much aesthetic and intellectual snobbery-but that
is the nature of the beast.
Second, I think that Mapplethorp is considered the master of the square
format, both for the aesthetic and the philosophical content of his
work-which has been severely psyco-analyized by art critics, even
politicians since his work is so controversial. These considerations are
aside from the phenomenal sales of his work which I never considered and
which Mark R pointed out(thanks).
I realize this "high art" approach often puts me at odds with photographers
such as yourself, who have well developed and perhaps successful careers in
photography.
The danger with this kind of internet discourse centers around semantics its
use or abuse.
I think that we are at cross purposes because we are often talking about
different genres, commercial-family album-documentary-fashion etc.
Thanks,
Marvin.

Marvin -
You may, but if you have the serious knowledge and experience with the
critical art world that you've claimed in the past, you would not be
asking. To state that any one artist is at the top cannot be
substantiated and is unsupportable...
