Truth or Fact?

Via: Zoe Strauss
A great read from artinfo.com

"An artist’s job is to help make people think, to try to make something that will be part of the dialogue," "I know it’s hard — with photography in particular, it’s very difficult to find the line between photojournalism and fine art. It’s slippery in terms of how people perceive photography."- Z. Strauss

"But the emotional impact is what’s primary. Some artists are stylists. I don’t think of myself being one of them. I want the painting to have a sort of monumentality, drama, and artifice that pull the viewer into the narrative that’s going on." - S. Mumford
