Response to Other Responses

When reading over the responses of the artists, I noticed that many people observed the same details about the artist’s style. Crewsdon was noted for his surrealistic photographs and his ability to capture great lighting. Many began to question the picture, which Crewsdon intended to do. While some found his work unsettling, I enjoyed the thought process and meaning behind his work.

Hock’s photographs were found humorous to many people and are noted for his surreal and entertaining qualities. I also enjoyed his work, for they were humorous, yet they depicted obstacles that people face through life.

Many commented on Wall’s intention to depict social tensions. While some thought his photos were too staged, some found them unique. I was too skeptical when I saw his work, but after reading into detail about his motives, I began to appreciate his works.

Sherman’s photos gave a classic look by using black and white photography. Instead of using color as an aid, she voided color completely, which actually strengthened her work. Many noticed her intention to depict feminism in her photographs, though some thought they were too similar to magazine ads.
