Postmodermist "Picture"

Douglass Crimp said "We are not in search of souces of images...but of structures of signification: underneath each picutre there is always nother picture" how does this relate to the legal authorship problem where Sherrie Levine took a couple of Weston's Untitled, AFter Edward Weston series of his nude son and cropped as to include no more than his torso? Does it Make her the legal author of these series of pictures?

It is kind of confussing but quite true to some of male statues from the High Classical period, as the book says: itself (the original statue) the model for endless Roman copies.

Hey Nathan I just saw you!!! lol What did you think of Joanna's video final?

Now the Weston photo was cropped that way. Levine takes photos of artwork that is published, so she took a picture of a reproduction of Weston's original photograph. The legal relationships get very tricky.

And by the way Joanna's videos were very funny. I especially liked the Bloustein peoples expression when they walked by the sounds of a really rough gay porno to here one dude call the other guy 'dickbeard'. Priceless.
