Landrum Kelly Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 <p>Can a documentary photographer attain the status of "artist"? The case of George Tice.</p><p><a href="http://susanspiritusgallery.com/artist/george-tice/platinumpalladium/petits-mobil-station-cherry-hill-nj-2/">http://susanspiritusgallery.com/artist/george-tice/platinumpalladium/petits-mobil-station-cherry-hill-nj-2/</a></p><p>Others might want to offer other possible candidates for "artists" among those known primarily for documentary work.</p><p>--Lannie</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellinder Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 <p>Phil beat me to the punch regarding Salgado. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie_cheung Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 <p>Some I think would fit the bill: Alec Soth, Elliott Erwitt, Diane Arbus, Martin Parr, Trent Parke<br> Some I particularly like that could fit the bill: Eugene Richards, Antoine d'Agata, Daido Moriyama, Jacob Aue Sobol, Mary Ellen Mark</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 <p>Line Martel, Brad Evans....</p> <p>Methinks the old timers would agree.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 <p>"PhSure. Other examples are Atget, Walker Evans, W. Eugene Smith, Salgado"....</p> <p>the list goes on and on to the Infinite of time. Same old stories, about the same old folk, to the end of time...</p> <p>Look at other photographers and ask a question....what is working, today, for you.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 <p>"There are thousands of photographers that we can name I guess, including ourselves. The reason to name and rename and revisit all the classics and use them as a sample is because they often represent the best of what has been done" Phil.</p> <p>Has been done.</p> <p>Is being done could also be equally or more interesting. </p> <p>Surely, folks might be getting slightly bored, with the same old names and stories. Don't you think....or, should we be like a little mouse, treading the same little wheel, in same little cage, to the end of time....</p> <p>Just a thought, Phil.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
