Note on Art
A personal note from LeRoy Neiman, featuring two quotes from art historian Ernst Gombrich on photography and commercial design.
This note from LeRoy Neiman relays commentary from quintessential art historian Ernst Gombrich. The first excerpt from Gombrich concerns photography; instead of focusing on photo’s relation to painting—or the effect of photography on the trajectory of western painting—the section touches on the medium’s distinct aesthetic features. The note’s second section (also a quote from Gombrich) discusses advertising, and advertising images. This selection then makes sense in the context of Neiman’s biography—or, his interest in fashion illustration, American visual culture, work for Playboy, and stint in commercial design. For Gombrich and for Neiman, “there is no difference between traditional art and so-called commercial art.”
