Bresson is waaaaaaaaaaaay out of line on this.

Yes, we sure do need political art.

We also need art that will feed our souls.

Good grief.

Thanks for the quote, dear George.

“Anticipate, and then be patient”

His work with the Sierra Club led him to actively lobby Congress for the preservation of wilderness areas. Both Cartier-Bresson and Adams were great photographers.

That same argument continues to this day.

I compare it to the world of music. Some people love cassical music, others love rock, jazz, country, bluegrass, blues, soul, gospel, Zydeco, Kkesmer, etc.

It's all music, and many professionals admire and learn from those outside their own discipline.
