Abstract
I suppose it all started in a textbook. Perhaps this shouldn’t be surprising, but as one who generally avoids superfluous bouts of academic reading, I’m still in a fair amount of awe that this project ever got dreamt up in the first place. Yet how could I resist the delightfully amiable photograph of an old man whose eyes were filled with light and mischief flirting with me from the introduction of my Art History 379 book? A man whom the author took so much care to mention with a tone of distinct fondness despite the fact that there was no place for him in the tome of the official canon of important photographic works outlined just beyond.
