Lynn Davis

Article Abstract:

Photographer Lynn Davis describes her process of working as circling around an area or subject, studying it and then capturing the experience. Her work, primarily nudes and the environment, suggests an interplay of positive and negative space, and Davis feels that the solid components disappear at times. She travels around the world to find subjects for her photography and sees these travels as both her artistic process and her life. She recounts the influence that the loss of her 21-year-old son has had on her.

Into a world of color: an interview with David Hockney

Article Abstract:

David Hockney uses a computer to enhance the colors of his photographs and soften the edges of lines. He says that the computer has shown that there is no real true color, only whatever the printing medium is capable of. Similarly, there is no more truth in photography, as heralded by the limited television coverage of the Persian Gulf War. The distinction between truth and abstraction was an artificial creation of critics, not artists.
