What I see more and more is realism that is presented as painting that
shows areas where the painter over looks covering real shadows caught
by the
camera. To me ,this is not painting............ Camera shadows don't
lie.

If the photo you showed had included some anomaly, subtle enough
to flatter
the viewer who finds it, but sufficient to undermine the apparent
celebration,
it would have qualified as high brow museum art, and Mr. Ostrow
might even
write a review of it.
Though regarding photography, you and I are almost on the same page.
I would never say that the camera is incapable of presenting an
interpretation, but it is "cold blooded" -- i.e. it presents forms
that are
as dead as the sculptures in a wax museum -- no -- they're even
more dead than
that, and people who don't feel that way haven't learned how to feel
paintings, so they don't know what they're missing.
Regretfully, Rand was probably just such an insensitive person.
How else could she disparage Rembrandt for painting a side of beef.
