Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
I have not given it much thought on how art could change so much over time. While reading “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” gave me some new insight on how things changed over time. During the Middle Ages engraving and etching was added to woodcut but then a century went by, and things started to change. They went from engraving and etching to lithography. This process was more direct being traced on a stone rather than on a block of wood. It permitted graphic art for the first time to be able to be put on the market. Ever since the new iPhone came out with the new advanced cameras, I started to view photography differently. I wasn’t really into taking photos but now have the technology we have today gave me a different view on how photos are taken. We all take “simple” photos but with these advance technologies on our phones I have been taking better pictures. I have a much more appreciation for photographers today. It also makes it easy to share you
