From: "Daniel J. Matyola"
I took the image because something about the sculpture grabbed my
attention and held it. I tried to capture the feeling that it aroused
in me when I faced it. I tried to make it look more like a statue --
or even a head -- than just a mask. I tried to bring out the slight
discolorations and the textures to make it more three dimensional. In
the end, however, it is merely a reasonably decent copy of the
original, as you point out.
So what?
"A reasonably decent copy of the original" might make a good
illustration in an otherwise boring text book; a worthy use for a
photograph in my opinion. And it has an added dimension for you because
of the memory attached.
We don't have the memory, but the photo at least takes us inside the
museum as well as any museum catalog does.
Even if it ain't "great art", it's a good photo.
