- Briefly discuss why you think painters of the Victorian period might have criticized these early photomontages and why the pictures were popular with the general public. (This technique of piecing together separate images to create one picture is again very popular with both artists and the media).
- What two reasons can you think of for this revival of an old technique?
It is possible victorian's might have criticized this photo because it took away from them painting, especially because the public liked it.Victorian's had ideals to live by, they did not care about the reality of things. In this picture this seems like a realistic situation, something raw, something to REALLY think about, and thats not what the times were about back then. I think it became popular to the public because they were not used to this, and why did to step out of what was just expected, they wanted something new. Two reasons for the revival of this old technique is it is fun to do, and also there is so much meaning you can put into it to make it become something so much better from what it originally was.
This photo is very different, victorians were not about different. They had a mindset and wanted things done that way. They kind of shaped everyones ideas into what they wanted. I can see why the public would want to break against that, and this seems like the type of artwork to catch the attention of many. Two reasons for the revival on this is to make good and meaningful artwork like this, and to let many put their own message out there. This picture most likely has deep meaning and thats what a lot of people look for.
